X-BeenThere: freebsd-x11@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: X11 on FreeBSD -- maintaining and support List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 23 Jun 2008 17:28:53 -0000 Just switched a 6.3 system to 7-STABLE and then csupped and rebuilt all ports. No CPU optimizations in /etc/make.conf. The only serious difference seems to be switching from a text console to X (Alt-F9). Graphic mode screen shows immediately (but not completely, looks like the wrong bit depth) and then there's a lag of about five seconds, then the screen is is drawn correctly. That switch took a second or so on 6.3. No difference with or without VESA/SC_PIXEL_MODE in the kernel, and switching from X to a text console (Ctrl-Alt-F1) seems the same as before, about a second. A couple of searches didn't help, but it's hard to pick the right search terms for this. Is a slow switch from console to X expected behavior with 7.x or is there something that can be done?
