Hi, I've noticed something with XFree86 4.2.0. First off here's my hardware configuration: AMD Athlon 900MHz, VIA chipset motherboard ATI All-In-Wonder Pro PCI 8MB, using the ati_drv.o from the GATOS project's ati.2 project. Linux version 2.4.18 (Slackware Linux 8.0)
Here's the symptom. Usually, X is pretty quick and responseful. My typical performance gauge is XMMS's playlist window. Whenever I scroll through the XMMS playlist window, the scrolling is extremely smooth, almost flicker-free. However, as time goes on, say the X server has been running for a few days, with XMMS staying up almost all the time, occasionally running XawTV with the GATOS project's km module for video4linux, and occasionally running Mozilla off and on, there comes a time where the X environment feels overall slower, like screen refreshes have a tad more flicker in them. The giveaway symptom is when I scroll XMMS's playlist and instead of that smooth flicker-free scrolling, the scrolling doesn't feel as smooth and has a lot of flicker in it. That problem never goes away--even after restarting XMMS several times, the problem doesn't go away. Most applications still run fine but screen refreshes, especially for graphically-intense applications, feel a little slower. The problem DOES go away, however, when I restart the X server. Has anyone else had similar symptoms, or know where I could start investigating to pin down the problem?
