Yes, I looked in those places, but there doesn't seem anything odd: |
22 |
|
23 |
[app] (name=gkrellm) (class=Gkrellm) |
24 |
[Workspace] {7} |
25 |
[Position] (UPPERLEFT) {0 0} |
26 |
[Close] {yes} |
27 |
[end] |
28 |
|

However, I have a custom 'apps-pp' file too, |
30 |
which mb getting defined in the new machine's 'init' file. |
31 |
I've made a note to check tomorrow. |

I've found the note buried in my notes from the 2007 installation : |
38 |
it needs a file /dev/fonts/local.conf with various settings, esp |
39 |
|
40 |
<match target="font"> |
41 |
<test name="family"> |

<string>Luxi Mono</string> |

HTH anyone else who gets ugly fonts in a new box. |

Well, I can guess equally well (smile). When compiling Firefox & LibreOffice, |
60 |
the 'it87-3' reached 68 C once, while the other 3 were lower ; |
61 |
all 4 CPUs were working at 99 % at the time. |
62 |
IIRC the displayed temperatures are not very accurate: when not active, |
63 |
3 of the values were well below room temperature, which sb impossible. |
64 |
|
65 |
I have the impression that the rate of CPU work is being controlled |
66 |
in order to keep the temperature safely below the cut-off point |
67 |
which I've set in BIOS, ie 70 C ; also, the variable fan is very impressive. |
68 |
If so, it must be due to the combination of AMD + Gigabyte (mobo). |

|
70 |
Thanks for the advice. (1) must be fairly easy, when I find out why. |
71 |
Any further info re (3) wb very welcome. |
