Hello, |
| 2 |
I first noticed this as I started playing around a bit with XFCE on |
| 3 |
my AMD64 machine. The environment is nice and has most of what I might |
| 4 |
look for in a post-Gnome world, but the default terminal resizes VERY |
| 5 |
slowly. It can take a few seconds to drag the lower right corner. |
| 6 |
There are no speed problems moving the terminal around, only resizing |
| 7 |
it. It doesn't matter if I enable or disable transparency. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
The executable is /usr/bin/Terminal. The default terminal in Gnome |
| 10 |
is /usr/bin/gnome-terminal which is fast for resizing. Both terminals |
| 11 |
have identical results whether I'm running Gnome of XFCE. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
I doubt it matters but glxgears is fast enough - about 2K |
| 14 |
Frames/second, but I suspect that's not a measure that matters. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
How would I determine what the root cause of this problem is? I |
| 17 |
presume it's not the actual code of Terminal but rather some sort of |
| 18 |
machine configuration issue. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
VGA is an ATI R300 family device running the radeon driver. Not |
| 21 |
sure what matters in the kernel config so let me know what to look for |
| 22 |
and I'll report back on that. xorg.conf is pasted below. There are no |
| 23 |
error messages and only a couple of warnings in the Xorg.0.log file. |
| 24 |
Maybe I need to enable something in there that I don't know about or |
| 25 |
something simple like that? |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Thanks, |
| 28 |
