I upgraded my ports over the holiday, and I'm having a number of problems with xorg. I'll address them one at a time, in order of most problematic ... Right now, the worst is the lousy performance. Using the exact same xorg.conf that I had in 7.2, the performance of window resizes is terrible. I had no problems with this in 7.2. For example, if I open a terminal window, then hit the maximize button, it takes almost 3 seconds to maximize it. Again xorg 7.2 didn't have this problem. Is there some new config option in 7.3 that I need to enable? I'm not seeing performance problems anywhere else that I can find (moving windows around, for example, seems to work fine). Could it be my wm (xfce4) ... as I upgraded it at the same time?
