Well, with DRI on I wouldn't call LyX unusable (at least for me), it is only slower when a figure float or something similar is open. During normal editing it is perfectly usable with no slowness. However, I only discovered this speed increase with normal editing by modifying my default color depth to 16 rather than 24. Before I made that change I would have agreed with you that with DRI on LyX was practically unusable. With DRI off the speed of typing in figure floats is greatly increased as previously noted, but this has other negative effects. Hope someone can figure it out. Cheers, Bob Lounsbury
