Re: Is it possible to change the start-up nice value of X server in gdm

Small warning beforehand. I don't use gdm much so there could be a  
better way, but you could just add:

renice -10 `pidof X`

somewhere to your  /etc/gdm/Init/Default (depending on your  
installation might be in a different place)

Are you talking about that "mouse goes crazy after moving around for a  
while" problem?  I have the same on my mothers laptop and reniceing X  
didn't help either  .. and it has already cost me a few hours of  
sleep :(
