Hummingbird Exceed and Xorg

[Russ Wheaton]

Hey there,

The xterm does not experience the same sluggish refresh - thank you very much for the suggestion.  

Probably a newbie question but do you have any detail on how to disable the anti-aliasing for the entire system?

I've found that both FC1 and 2 were painfully slow to do remote X apps 
through Exceed if they used the GTK2 antialiased fonts.  Apps which used 
standard X fonts were plenty quick, and if you changed a slow app to not 
do anti-aliasing then everything got a lot quicker.

If you're only after a terminal in X then try an xterm rather than 
something like gnome-terminal and see if this has any effect.
