Hello, Fairly new to FreeBSD. Recently did a fresh install from 4.10 to 5.3, and noticed that when in X, things are a bit jerky, enough for me to notice at least. Anything scrolling jerks and SDL video programs are very jerky. Wondering what in particular should I look into to fix this? Also, when I previously was using 4.10, my computer made a heck of a lot of noise, which I blamed on a cheap powersupply. It was also very hot (which i also blamed on the powersupply)- I had to turn it off when I did not use it. When I ran X, there were dark vertical lines on the lcd which I assumed was due to it being old and cheap. All this changed however when I installed 5.3. The computer is completely quiet at all times and the graphics are sharper than ever, much much sharper than my xp computer. Anyways, I guess im wondering if there was anything I might have been doing insanely wrong, so that I can prevent that from happening in the future. I know this questions are very broad, but im too new to this game to make them more specific, hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. thanks Adrian
