Hi,
I would like to know if a downgrade from 4.x to 3.x will improve the
performance of my X?
I have been using Redhat 7.0 to RedHat 7.3, but 7.3 is very sluggish, I found
some one in the archives saying that the DMA=1 option needs to be set in the
/etc/sysconfig/harddrive, I have done that the performance has imporoved
significantly, but the graphics is still slightly slow as compared with the older
versions of Linux, I can't watch any movies on 7.3 where are the same movie used to
work very fine on older Linux like 7.0, caldera 2.4 and also on Mandrake 8.2.
All the window managers are slower, that include GNOME, KDE,
WindowMaker, and others as well including failsafe.
INFO:
Redhat 7.3 (Presently)
AMD K6-2 500Mhz,
SIS 530/620 chipset (8MB)
164 MB SDRAM RAM (100Mhz)
Thanks for the help. I have uploaded the
Bye.
