xorg-server 1.8 and 1.9 use mesa-7.8.2, and there's reports around that that |
| 28 |
version of mesa causes desktop slowdowns. mesa-7.7.1 as used by xorg- |
| 29 |
server-1.7 is reported to be fine |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Me, I'm undecided. I have a slow sluggish desktop, but it might be the nvidia |
| 32 |
drivers, mesa, X-server, kernel config, wrong elevator or even just the shitty |
| 33 |
IO scheduler design on desktops that the kernel devs are recently waking up to |
| 34 |
admitting to. Lots of stuff to change one at a time and see what results... |
