Package: nvidia-kernel-dkms
Version: 260.19.44-1
Severity: important

Hi,

I own Thinkpad T410 with nvidia quadro 310m. After installing Debian Wheezy
with kernel 2.6.38-2-amd64 and afterwards nvidia-kernel-dkms, I find it very
slow in drawing windows i.e. checking debian menu, switching between tabs in
terminal ... It affects everything actually. Any work in this state is a
painfull experience.

One more thing to mention. This is a fresh installation of OS. No changes has
been made yet.

I also found some warnings in xorg.log.0 ( which might help altough it is
probably hw related problem and has nothing to do with above mentioned problem
):

It works flawlessly with nouveau driver and because of that, it is the most
probably a bug in nvidia-kernel-260.19.44  provided by the package nvidia-
kernel-dkms.



!!! Thank you very much for all your effort to resolve this issue. !!!
