Hi there guys,
I have an Athlon64 Box, using a Radeon 9200SE video card running FC
x86_64 (default kernel), up to date with most updates by yum.
The problem I have right now is that X is too slow... After 3+ hs on,
X starts to use 30% of the system memory (512 Mb BTW), and sometimes
using 30% of CPU (as reported by ps), with no apparent system usage.
At this time, the simple action of moving a window uses 100% of CPU.
Sometimes, after 8+ on, I notice the use of swap memory...
I am running Xfce 4.06 (I was running Gnome before, but with this
issue using it is quite hard)...
Any tips?? LMK if I need to post detailed system specs...
BTW, right now (25 minutes since startup), X status is (by ps):
root 2163 9.5 8.9 208132 45832 ? S 15:46 2:21
/usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 -audit 0 -auth /var/gdm/:0.Xauth -nolisten tcp vt7
Thanks
