CygWinners: I have either Ubuntu or Mandriva on an old Dell Latitude. Alone, it's perfectly fast. Some programs are faster than on my modern clone running WinXP. Big surprise there.
However, when I run the latest CygWin XFree on WinXP, and connect directly to this notebook with SSH, repaints are slow. I can run Konsole, enter 'ls', and watch each line repaint, from left to right, as the console scrolls. This is probably a FAQ, but "slow" is kind'a hard to Google for these days. Only painting is slow, as if the system must fetch each pixel, and is missing some buffering or hardware acceleration on the WinXP side. All other data transfers are super-fast, on a local Ethernet. Further, the Linux X-server, with a remote client in another city, is super-fast. This experience tells me that I simply don't know /what/ I don't know about the XFree config files. Is there an entry somewhere that just says 'fast = no', so I can switch that to 'yes'? -- Phlip http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?ZeekLand <-- NOT a blog!! -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
