Post the output of "/sbin/lspci | grep VGA" as well as the output of "grep Driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf". You may want to put your xorg.conf file up somewhere and post a link to the mailing list so others can take a look. >> What happens when you run glxgears at the command line? > It ran ok > m...@beagle:~$ glxgears > 49 frames in 5.1 seconds = 9.638 FPS That's NOT "ok". It's downright horrible, but if you were running over ssh -X, that's to be expected. Very little hardware acceleration can happen when you're running X11 over a network instead of directly. >> Do you have the latest flash player? > Probably not....don't use flash much.

The first thing I'd try in this situation is to replace the Debian-patched kernel with a vanilla kernel, but I've just seen more weird bugs in distro-patched kernels than in the vanilla ones. Replacing a kernel is also a bit intimidating if you've never done it before. -- Matt G / Dances With Crows The Crow202 Blog: http://crow202.org/wordpress/ There is no Darkness in Eternity/But only Light too dim for us to see --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - [email protected] To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
