Possibly your use flags and/or openbox (if not using a GL compositor). |
| 78 |
Try enabling all GL related flags for the terminal emulator and it's |
| 79 |
dependencies and use a GL compositor like kwin or compiz. Modern |
| 80 |
graphics cards are designed with modern software in mind. Many don't |
| 81 |
even have a 2D engine anymore. |
