I installed ubuntu a few weeks ago, just to check if there are similar graphical problems. Well, I didn't test it too much, but I fired up firefox with a few pages, minimized and maximized the window, but it was fast. I opened a big xterm window upon it, and changing between them was fast, not like in my source based installs (gentoo, lfs). Though scrolling a page in firefox in ubuntu was quite slow. I don't really use gtk based apps, just epdfview and midori for now, but I experience this in epdfview, too, but it's not so annoying there. pdfs are not so complex as a web page. I do hope, that it's not my mistake in building the system. I installed assaultcube (fps game), and it's working fine. It's so stupid, that I can play game, but can't use 2d windowing :S As you mentioned gcc, I thought maybe the problem starts with the compiler. So maybe it's not enough to try and rebuild another version of gtk or webkit or xorg with different configuration, but maybe it needs different gcc version too. bendeguz -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
