Finally installed Ubuntu 12.04 on my HP Pavilion 2000. Have all of my apps on and loaded and am happy thus far.

ONE ISSUE -- I'm experiencing a small amount of GUI/GPU style lagging when I go to open menus, move windows, etc.

What settings can I disable to allow it to run sharply and quickly, even if i t means sacrificing some of the graphics?

Have already installed pre-load. Just want the OS to run sharply and quickly with menu refreshes, window moves, etc. I do not mind sacrificing graphics.

Somone mentionted to me I have to install video drivers but the two that come up in system settings under drivers it won't let me install.

ALSO : I am driving a second 19" monitor -- would that make a difference performance wise as well?

Thanks in advance.
