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