Prior to the update under high load (i.e. building chromium), the system would become so laggy that you could watch urxvt draw single chararcters. I thought that this was a schedulare problem until I noticed that the system responds fine on the system console. Only by setting: =C2=A0 =C2=A0 Option "Throttle"=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0= =C2=A0"false" =C2=A0 =C2=A0=C2=A0Option "TripleBuffer"=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0"false" could I retain a semblance of usability. The update, regardless of using the intel or modesetting driver, fixes this issue. It is very appreciated! Now I would like to use this opportunity to direct your attention to my patches against the devd device detection: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D9512 I made the to enable discovery of webcamd supported input devices. --=20 A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text.
