works very well. But recently after i updated to 6.0.1 the system
becomes very slow. I notice the process Xorg consume many CPU usage.
even i open a terminal window, it pop up very slow.today i fresh
installed my laptop,using netinst method
(debian-6.0.1a-amd64-netinst.iso).but after installed the system still
very slow, Xorg still consume many CPU. but windows XP runs normal, so i
think 6.0.1 has some problem. does anybody encountered this situation?

BTW,can i just install debian 6.0 not 6.0.1? i have 5.0.4 DVD and 6.0.1
netinst CD.

Have you checked for missing firmware? Issue

dmesg|less

and search for the character string "firmware". For example

g
/firmware
n

The "g" takes you to the top, "/firmware" searches for the string "firmware",
and "n" repeats the last search. Use "n" as often as necessary. Look for
evidence that the kernel tried to load firmware but was unsuccessful.
Use "q" to exit, of course.
