I did a make world for a recent version of stable 4.0 (like the day before yesterday). I am finding that the mouse movement is rather jerky. It is nothing to do with X because it happens in text mode also. Also, it is not a dirty roller in the mouse - the nature of the jerkiness makes that clear. Indeed, it seems in general that the computer is rather sluggish in how it changes from one task to another. So if I have several xterms in different virtual windows under X, and I change from one virtual window to another, there is a quite noticable time delay before the xterm becomes available. Indeed, even in text mode, there seems to be a perceptable delay getting tasks to start running. I am guessing that there were changes recently to the stuff that allocates computer time to the different tasks. I have to add that these observations are somewhat subjective. I am currently trying to load an earlier version of FreeBSD 4.0 but I am finding that make buildwork is not working on building an earlier version of FreeBSD 4.0. -- Stephen Montgomery-Smith Department of Mathematics, University of Missouri, Columbia, MO 65211 Phone 573-882-4540, fax 573-882-1869 http://www.math.missouri.edu/~stephen stephen@math.missouri.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
