Greetings,

I am trying to make the switch from CentOS to OpenSolaris as my work PC desktop. So far so good, but one thing is making me pull my hear out and may drive me back to CentOS. It is very slow when I try to resize a window. This is killer for me since I may have over 14 terminals (xterm) open at any given time.

I have tried turning off the fancy compwiz features, but nothing changes, resizing is still dog slow! Any tips or suggestions out there?

I notice these error messages in dmesg, can they be the cause of my problems.
