Slow Window Redraws
Authored by: raclo1 on Nov 03, '01 07:02:42AM

Running XFree86 on my 350 MHz slot-loading iMac in full-screen mode, scrolling and window redraws when moved or resized is VERY slow. Scrolling images (eg in the GIMP) is ridiculously slow. This is not the case in rootless; it uses Quartz of course. (In Quartz the menus are nowhere near as snappy!)
I suspect the video driver for X Windows is somehow wrong for the ATI Rage 128 VR in my iMac. Has anyone else experienced this problem?
By the way, I installed Gnome with Fink and it works nicely even in rootless mode. Now what I need is abiword...
