Thanks Valmor, I saw the thread. I don't run KDE4 only xdm/fluxbox (although |
| 35 |
I run KDE4 applications individually). In the past the odd xorg upgrade might |
| 36 |
have made things worse, until a new version came out and restored performance |
| 37 |
to a good/acceptable level. This current deterioration in performance has |
| 38 |
been gradual since I think xorg 1.5. All I can assume is that my hardware is |
| 39 |
so getting so old that it is becoming unsupported. |
