Nvidia + Toshiba + acpi=off

[Clayton Rogers]

Hi Tod,

Thanks for the reply.  Thanks to your recommendation I'm a lot closer.  
I've got the Nvidia display driver loading and displaying the GDM 
screen.  Only problem is, the mouse and all X activity is really slow.  
If I move the cursor it jolts from position to position and would seem 
the CPU is running at 100%.

I get this running in runlevel 5 and runlevel 1 and trying startx yields 
the same result.  I tried the swCursor "True" in the xorg.conf however 
it turned up the same way.

I have the kernel booting up with the following boot prompts:-

kernel          /vmlinuz-2.6.15-26-386 root=/dev/sda5 ro vga=771 lapic 
pnpbios=off pci=usepirqmask pci=routeirq pci=noacpi

Any ideas?

Cheers
