Re: Jessie Performance under GNOME
Dear Stefan,
Yes "Wheezy" under GNOME-2, and "Jessie" under GNOME-3
I see, it has to do with graphics after all. X.Org's XAA and EXA are 2D
accelerators, right?
My PC mainboard manual states it has got on-chip AGP 2D/3D.
"Wheezy" performs well with XAA, that is not maintained upstream any
longer.
Many thanks so far.
