Have you tried renicing the server to priority 0 or even 10? The default nice value is -10 on kernels earlier than 2.6. One way to adjust this is with "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-common". Also: [The following is a form letter.] Dear bug submitter, Since the XFree86 X server is a large and complex piece of software, some more informtion is required of you before this bug can be handled. Please run the following commands from a shell prompt to gather and deliver this information to us: $ /usr/share/bug/xserver-xfree86 > /tmp/output 3>&1 $ mailx -s "Re: Bug#237717" 237717@bugs.debian.org < /tmp/output If you do not have a "mailx" command on your system, you can get by installing the "mailx" Debian package; for example, with the "aptitude install mailx" or "apt-get install mailx" commands as root. Alternatively, you can also use a mail command that is compatible with mailx's command-line syntax, such as "mutt". Thank you! -- G.
