To give you a rough breakdown... 3.2.1.3 was working but they broke 3.2.2.3. I have not received an update for Qubes Windows Tools yet. I would recommend you go back to verson 3.2.1.3 if that isn't what is installed. As for your resolution, it does make a difference with the way Qubes is designed, and it does affect things. However the lag in it isn't because of your resolution. I run multiple monitora in 1920 x 1080 and 1600x900 mode and I have no issue with 3.2.1.3 and lag like in 3.2.2.3. Every time I post letting them know there is an issue, or to find if there is a workaround, it gets ignored. So, in relation to Windows, I can only guess that they just don't have enough time to assess all the critical bugs before they release an update, and they can't get it updated fast enough to please everyone. So the critical bugs stay on the back burner while they sort out the tiny small ones until they can get the larger ones sorted out. If you are having great issue with it, uninstall the tools, and do NOT install the video driver. Then you will have no issue with the latest version. No seamless mode, but it will run just fine with 2 threads and 4 GB RAM with ease. You can even have Win7 at 1 thread and 2 GB RAM if you so want. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
