Hello,
New kernel version 2.6.32-279.2.1.el6.x86_64 in combination with xorg-x11-drv-nouveau Version:0.0.16 is somehow painfully slow on my laptop.
during start up it takes almost half a minute for gnome login to appear. After having logged in the following happens: - gnome top and bottom panels "slide/crawl" in to view one pixel line at a time. - starting the terminal takes much more time, 10-15, sometimes even up to 20 seconds. - Firefox also takes much longer to start.
Removing xorg-x11-drv-nouveau seems to resolve this "slowness" but then my attached monitor does not work.
Anyone else experiencing this issue or know how to fix/troubleshoot?

Have you tried installing the Nvidia drivers from the CentOS repo?

Thanks, this worked for me. Uninstalled nouveau and installed kmod-nvidia.

Those drivers are from elrepo, not CentOS :-D
But I use them all the time and highly recommend them.

I concur. The only thing I get from elrepo is kmod-nvidia; on install, it creates a blacklist for nouveau, so it won't be automatically loaded. It also rebuilds by itself when you update the kernel, instead of having to manually rebuild the drivers from the proprietary installer.
I hear rumors that kmod-nvidia will be coming in RHEL soon, and so here to CentOS.

I hear rumors that kmod-nvidia will be coming in RHEL soon, and so here to CentOS.
Any source for the rumors?
It'd be great though!
