I work as a video editor, and recently we upgraded our systems to version 10.6.4 with dual 24" monitors. It's pretty sweet.
The processor is a double quad core 2.66 GHz Intel Xeon (I admit I don't know how relevant that is), with 12 GB of memory and 512 mb of Video memory (NVIDIA GeForce GT 120).
Ok, so, everything's fine until we install the second monitor, using Matrox Powerdesk. Now, when using the mouse, every 10 seconds or so, there is a lag and the mouse pointer stops moving, then jumps to catch up and ends up going wacky.
I've looked up stuff about this (ooh, actually it just happened now only with the keyboard catching up), and while "mouse jump dual monitor" brings stuff up in Google, it's never quite what I'm experiencing. For them it's more like the mouse pointer jumps to the corner of the screen or something.
Anyway, this is intolerable. I work 8-12 hours a day on this thing and I need the mouse to be precise. As it is I can barely stand it.
Anyway, that's my problem. Any thoughts?
