Guys, This may/may not prove the superiority of BSD over the Linux kernel, dunno. Maybe you can help me figure out what I need to tune; or (*sob*) lighten my load on ethos. I've got three of the 4 default workspaces full of apps. Mostly xterms or "gnome-terminals". I have 1G RAM, a huge disk, a 2800 AMD chip, yet realplay is *very* slow to respond. It's time-counter changes only ever 8 seconds and when I cover part or all, it takes several seconds to fill back in. Is this a bug in xorg or in realplay or what? Last night I closed realplay and began having similar problems with one of the terminals. I have run CTWM for years so am used to a lightweight wm. I haven't checked to see if gnome/kde-LITE are available. That may be the problem. I am reluctant to post this to the ubuntuforums because I've already asked enough idiot questions ... (Sure, I do the same here, but I know you guys:-) I could close all my xterms and see, but it took hours to get things configured just the way I want! tia, you'n's, gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org www.thought.org Public service Unix
