Is this for all X apps, or just Firefox. If it's just text-rendering, try compiling Firefox with "moznopango" flag , either in /etc/make.conf or /etc/package.use. Note that this may disable non-English fonts. > I have a radeon 7500 , 512MB of RAM, 1,5GHz AMD > and fluxbox, 1.6.5-r1 x server. Is that 512MB the video card or your system ram? If it's 512MB system ram, that's probably your problem right there. Firefox will strain your system just by itself. Firefox is getting too bloated for its own good. SQL database and spell-check built in... what was the old joke about Mozilla 0.9... about:kitchen sink. Firefox is a mediocre operating system that lacks a lightweight web-browser. -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org>
