xfs doesn't seem to be working
As near as I can tell, x is not using xfs. This is a poor little 486/33, and
the documentation for lyx uses postscript fonts which call for rendering. It
substantially pauses for a few minutes while doing so.
(when this has been hashed out before, it seems to have to do with the xserver
being single-threaded).
The solution for this is xfs, which is supposedly running. However, looking
at top from a regular console, it is X taking all the cycles, while xfs is
idle.
/etc/X11/config reads:
# This file contains configuration flags for the X Window System.
# For a description of the meanings of the flags, see
# /usr/doc/X11/debian.README
run-xconsole
obey-nologin
allow-user-resources
allow-user-modmap
allow-user-xsession
allow-failsafe
start-xfs
start-xdm
xdm-start-server
Is there anything else that should be happening? I recall that under macbsd
(which was running on a comparable machine), i had to start xfs first and then
use port information to pass this to xdm. However, it solved the problem, and
the machine was usable while crunching fonts.
