Slow video
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
I am running Sid on a dual-core 2.6 GHZ Pentium and I'm using the
on-board video. My MB is an Intel DB865GBF. My monitor is a newer LDG LCD.
Lately, it seems the past few weeks the video performance has deteriorated
- - it used to be quite fast but in Firefox and Thunderbird the display seems
to be a lot slower. A couple of months ago someone here suggested I add
"AccellMethod EXA" to my device section in xorg.conf. I did and at the
time it seemed to improve things but now it seems they are back to where
they were. I know the Intel driver has been "updated" at least once since
then.
Does anybody have any suggestions? Would it improve things if I installed
a separate video card?
This is my current xorg.conf:
# xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file)
