Re: XFree86 3.2 performance problem ?
From: Joey Hess [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Has anyone else noticed that, since the upgrade to 3.2, X seems to be slower ? ... After the upgrade I noticed that my WM (AfterStep) took about 2-3 seconds more to load and the window drawing is also a bit slower. I didn't think about it though, but yesterday I started xbmbrowser in a directory where I keep a lot of pixmaps (800+). It took forever to load so I killed it after about 10 minutes. ... Has anoyone had a similar experience ? I've noticed one area where X is now slower. I run 2 X displays, one at 256 colors, the other at 16bpp. I switch between then a lot. It used to be a very fast switch from one to the other. Now, I switch, and it takes 2-3 seconds before X starts responding to mouse movement again. Same thing happens if I switch to a text console and then back to X. Me three. I see this delay just switching from a text virtual console back to X. Daniel

I see this delay just switching from a text virtual console back to X. I don't. I use the mach64 xserver. My mouse is a ps2 mouse with the gpm -R trick so I can use the mouse in the console and X. It takes the regular 2 seconds that my monitor always takes when it switches modes (and makes an audible electric ZAP sound), but as soon as the screen comes back the mouse works right away. ...RickM...

I noticed that my Cirrus Logic 5426-VLB is slower in redrawing the screen and dragging windows seems to be less fluid. Will the SVGA X server from XFree-3.1.2 run flawlessly with all the XFree-3.2 clients? I'm considering downgrading my X server too.

Will the SVGA X server from XFree-3.1.2 run flawlessly with all the XFree-3.2 clients? I'm considering downgrading my X server too. I had to downgrade my server once I discovered Xfree unceremoniously cut Compaq AVGA support from my server. I've been running 3.1.2 server with 3.2 clients without trouble. The only thing that won't run is xvidtune because it depends on 3.2 extensions or something... Supposedly 3.2 isn't all that different from 3.1, it adds a couple nifty features for the keyboard and weird devices, and generally speeds up current vidcards. At the same time it appears to ignore older vidcards, which may be why performance has decreased, but don't quote me on that :) Will
XFree86 3.2 performance problem ?
Hi! Has anyone else noticed that, since the upgrade to 3.2, X seems to be slower ? I have a P120 with 48 Mb and a Stealth64 Video 2000 (S3) with 2Mb DRAM. I use 1024x768 with 16 bpp. After the upgrade I noticed that my WM (AfterStep) took about 2-3 seconds more to load and the window drawing is also a bit slower. I didn't think about it though, but yesterday I started xbmbrowser in a directory where I keep a lot of pixmaps (800+). It took forever to load so I killed it after about 10 minutes. Top showed that the XServer consumed 85-95 % of the CPU load. After that, I reinstalled my old S3 server (3.1.2 from Debian 1.1) and the problems mentioned above disappeared. Has anoyone had a similar experience ? Thanks in advance Robert -- Robert Sickeldalemail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Frontec Network Services AB (All statements above are my own, not my employers.) --
