I just installed 2.6.0-test6, and X is incredibly slow -- if I minimize a window which covers most of the screen, I can watch the redraw creep down the screen, taking about 1 second to finish.I'm using a PCI GeForce2 MX with the 4496 driver from NVidia. Under 2.4.21, the same driver produces good results. I haven't been able to test other cards or drivers.Nathan
You wont need to run X with a negative nice value if you have a preemptable kernel. Doing so will have a negative impact on performance. I had the same problem until I changed my /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config. Just comment out or remove the nice_level line.
