Hey,
It seems the up-to-date system doesn't work for my Laptop anymore. Wasn't too sure where to post this, as I couldn't test this anywhere else yet.
I experience extreme lags in Xorg (apparently due to high log output to Xorg.0.log as mentioned here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 9#p1305939 ). These lags seem to be related to Xorg, the linux kernel and maybe something else I haven't found yet.
Concerning the hardware: Dell XPS 1340 with:

I tested the up-to-date nvidia and nouveau drivers, to no avail. They both spam Xorg.0.log as soon as I watch a video, move a window or do something similiar "hi-res" in Gnome, leading to lags in all applications and X itself until it dies from high CPU usage + high chip temperature.
So I started downgrading my system.
I tested linux 3.9.9 but that didn't do the trick.
Currently I'm on linux 3.8.8-2, nvidia 313.30-5 and xorg-server 1.13.3-1, xf86-input-evdev 2.7.3-2 and xf86-input-wacom 0.20.0-1. This seems to be stable so far, the extreme X log output persists though, as soon as an external monitor is plugged in:
...
[ 234.963] (II) NVIDIA(GPU-0): Display (DELL2407WFPHC (DFP-1)) does not support NVIDIA 3D
[ 234.963] (II) NVIDIA(GPU-0): Vision stereo.
[ 234.963] (**) NVIDIA(0): Using HorizSync/VertRefresh ranges from the EDID for display
[ 234.963] (**) NVIDIA(0): device DELL2407WFPHC (DFP-1) (Using EDID frequencies has
[ 234.963] (**) NVIDIA(0): been enabled on all display devices.)
...
I tried nvidia drivers with and without my xorg.conf.d snippets, but that didn't change anything.
I'm kinda clueless... which package is the odd one out? All of them? At this point I wouldn't even know where to file a bug report.
I've been away for a couple of months and didn't upgrade the system too often in between, but this behavior is really odd.
Any ideas/ help would be highly appreciated!

Okay... I can definitely revise my statement about the Xorg.0.log. It has been the same since yesterday... so the spamming is gone!
I'd really like to find out if this is a linux kernel or a direct Xorg problem (of version 1.14 and above).

Here it is VERY laggy, on 308-44, with a 7900GT 256MB. Gnome-Shell is almost unusable. Long pauses, freezes, etc.

To rule out the nvidia drivers, temporarily switch to vesa or nouveau.

My card is a 7900GT 256 MB. In Gnome-Shell I have long pauses, and laggy cursor almost at random, and Xorg gets some crazy CPU usage (Core i7 2600k @ 4.5 GHz, 16GB RAM). The thing is that this is done with both nvidia-304xx and nouveau.
