Hi, I have an odd problem since doing a pkg upgrade earlier today. Since I've done that my laptop is painfull slow in XFCE but only when using the laptop without external displays. As soon as I plug in an external display it runs at normal performance. After disconnecting the external display it takes 1-2 seconds to respond to general typing and also task switching. Dragging windows around is also painfully slow. If I switch to a tty it is performant again as well. Note this on a Thinkpad P1 Gen3 running hybrid graphics using both Intel and Nvidia. From memory when using external screens it switches to the NVidia GPU and uses the Intel when no external displays are attached (at least that's my understanding). I have tried upgrading FreeBSD to the latest current. I have also force upgraded all packages. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Kind regards Benhelp
