I am using the Mate desktop on CentOS 7 and have found that the mouse intermittently becomes unresponsive for a few seconds, typically no more than 3-5 seconds. I do not remember seeing that when I used the regular Gnome desktop on CentOS 6 but I could misremember. The machine is fast and uses a dual-monitor setup with the native nVidia graphics driver. Is this really to be expected? I thought this was not an issue on Linux or maybe I am engaging in wishful thinking...

Does `tail -F /var/log/messages` show anything special while this is happening? Would be nice to check the resources consumption too, in order to see it those lags correspond to high-activity peaks.

I use a touchpad that's built into my usb-connected keyboard and don't encounter mouse latency issues with c7/mate.
