Slow down in X after kernel and xorg packages updated

Just upgraded to the latest kernel and xorg with the following packages and X has taken a nose dive and slowed down drastically:

kernelcairo-1.10.0-2  kernel26-2.6.35.7-1
mesa-7.8.2-3  nss-3.12.8-1  xf86-input-evdev-2.5.0-1
xf86-video-nv-2.1.18-1  xf86-video-vesa-2.3.0-3
xkeyboard-config-1.9-1  xorg-server-common-1.9.0-1
xorg-server-1.9.0-1  xterm-262-1

Tried reinstalling nvidia, but no help there.  Reverting to the previous packages made things good again.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Thanks... that looks like it could be the issue.  Searched twice but missed that post.

Re: Slow down in X after kernel and xorg packages updated

I downgraded to the bellow package versions and added them to the ignore lists.
The 2D/3D sluggishness has gone for me.

xf86-input-evdev: 2.4.0-2
xf86-input-keyboard: 1.4.0-2
xf86-input-mouse: 1.5.0-2
xorg-server: 1.8.1.902-1

I can confirm nVidia's driver version '260.19.06'  fixes this render lag.

This version is available in the AUR

remember to exit xorg and remove the old module after installing
# rmmod nvidia

Thanks for the confirmation that the beta driver worked for you.

I've been trying to hold off until nvidia makes the official release of the new driver but beginning to get impatient.
