Hello everyone, I am using FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE on a dual AthlonMP 2400+ with 512MB RAM, 60GB of IDE HDD (UDMA100) and a GeForce 4200Ti. I recently switched over X.org. After some minor hassles I actually got it to work. =) However, I *kind of feel* like performance has become worse. Especially using AcroRead burns cycles without end. But, say, switching desktops (I'm using WindowMaker) with maximized windows on them also hits the CPU considerably. ;-? Does anyone experience similar 'problems'? (I mean, it's not like my system wasn't working or something) Is there any hope this might get better with coming versions? I am using the 'nv' driver, not nVidia's. I tried the nVidia driver under Linux, once, and it made my system rather unstable. ;-/ Thanks for any hints, kind regards, Benjamin
