Duron 750MHz, 256Mb RAM. IDE disk. > 2.4.13 Kernel (my configuration) 2.4.12 Kernel, also home brewed. Just installed a stock DW 2.4.13 kernel - no change, so I guess we can rule that out.

Currently no DRI 'cause I forgot to compile it into the last kernel...but the G450 won't use it in dual head mode anyway. I'm not going to try downgrading this - I never managed to get DRI working on 4.0.2 > E 0.16.4; 0.16.5-4 (DW) - but I get the same problem under other window managers, so we can rule this out. > glibc 2.2.4 2.2.4-3 (DW) > Gnome (all ximian versions): > -libs 1.2.13 1.4.1.1 (DW) - that looks like a possible candidate. Just rolled it back to gnome-libs-data 1.2.13-ximian.11. Subjectively, may have made it worse - in any case it's made gdm decidedly wobbly (although it satisfies its dependencies..) so back to the DW version. > -core 1.4.0 > -print 0.31 > gtk+ 1.2.10 All same. > Evolution 0.99.2-ximian.3 Evo 0.99.2-ximian.2 This appears to be the latest version packaged for Debian. > Mail is accessed via IMAP. Ditto - from both local network and a remote (and at times slow) server. Just run an upgrade which installed quite a few Gnome libraries from Debian Woody, haven't time to test it properly today, but it's already crashed once in Xinerama, is running very nicely on a single screen, so apparently no change. I noticed on the Ximian FTP server the Debian Woody Ximian Gnome directory doesn't contain Evo, only the Potato one, so I guess they're only building it for that at the moment (which is fair enough - Woody's a bit of a moving target. Leave that to the Debian package maintainer.) Sure enough, my apt-sources file lists a stable archive - there doesn't appear to be a copy of the Woody debs set up as a Debian archive. I guess I'm just going to have to live with it for the time being - dillema: Evo or Xinerama... Now that says a lot about how good Evo is - there aren't many things I'd give up the second monitor for...
