OpenOffice Sluggishness
Yes, I know the program is usually slow, but what about when it is unusually slow? I've got OpenOffice 1.0.1 compiled as of yesterday morning on my Gentoo 1.4rc* system with Portage 2.0.45, GCC 3.2.1, Glibc 2.3.1, and Blackdown JDK 1.4.1beta, kernel 2.5.51, and it was compiled under 2.5.50bk5. My hardware is Athlon 1.4, EPoX 8K5A3+ (VIA KT333) mainboard, 512MB PC3200 DDR from Corsair's XMS series. The only reason I'm using the 2.5.xx series of kernels is that they seem to have the best support for my Highpoint 374 controller. The program loads the main window, and spends a good minute or two drawing it. It spends the time redrawing it every time I switch to another app. I've never gotten far enough to be able to type anything because it is sooo sluggish. I've tried setting the priority on the process to as low as -13 or so, and nothing helps. Anything I might try to make the beast useable? The prog. worked on my previous (because it got hosed) Gentoo install, where it was compiled with Blackdown 1.3.1, GCC 3.2, and Glibc 2.2.5.

Font Server or Hard-Coded FontPath
The Subject: line pretty much says it, but allow me to phrase it as a question: which is preferable, using a font server or using the standard hard-coded FontPath directives in XF86Config? I don't serve X terminals, so I'm not sure using a font server (xfs or, for True Type fonts, xfstt) buys me anything. The floor is open for opinions, but I'd prefer facts. ;-) Thanks, Kurt -- Menu, n.: A list of dishes which the restaurant has just run out of. ___ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc - http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users

Re: upgarding to glibc-2.2.5
in the last few days, I have seen someone mentioning a problem with symlink to libcs.so.5 or something. does it mean an extra step to clear all symlinks before buidling glibc? my last trial (on a fresh-install COL 3.1) was a failure.I could't compile a thing after the upgrade procedure.
