Choppy window movement.

The title says it all; my windows don't move smoothly. I've tried messing around with HorizSync and VertRefresh in xorg.conf, but the window movement stays choppy no matter what I put there.

You should provide more information, i.e. graphics card model, desktop environment or window manager, etc.

Ah, sorry. My internet has been shaky lately; I had to refresh and forgot to put that in.
My graphics card is an Intel GMA x3100, and I'm currently using Openbox. xf86-video-intel is the driver I'm using.

How do I do that? I'm fairly new to Arch; I installed on Thursday.

Re: Choppy window movement.

I have exa enabled on my laptop but nothing really changes. Maybe with 2.6.28 something will change also for 2D rendering.

I enabled exa, same thing. No noticeable difference.
