Hi Valerio, Thanks for your suggestion, and your xorg device section.
I copied that into my xorg, replacing my existing sections for my two 8600's. It just took 8 seconds to resize an empty (apart from a prompt) konsole that occupied a third of the screen. That is, I click and hold the top edge, and move the mouse up or down, and then wait. 8 seconds! Hot dang! I've counted up to 11 seconds in some cases, but it usually hovers around the 3-6 second mark. I'm not convinced it's a KDE 4 problem, but it doesn't seem like an X problem simply because it is affecting konsole and, seemingly, nothing else. I think I saw a bit of tardy response from okular, but that hasn't been repeatable. It doesn't appear to be text- based, as this email window (kmail) can resize very quickly. Ditto other applications I use (OOo, quanta, konq, iceweasel, amarok) -- all of them tend to be text-heavy. I modified my konsole settings - for several years I've used the dark/transparent background - but I went back to something more conservative just on the off-chance. No change. I made the changes that thread you posted suggested - these were nvidia-settings from a user-level account - and again, no change. Remember, I'm on a quad-core box, 2GB ram, very little happening on the CPU front (trickling along at 8% on average), and one monitor. 7 seconds - consistently! - just to resize one type of application is a particularly curious little bug. Hence I was interested if anyone else around these parts is seeing anything similar. It's looking like I might be on my own, though. cheers, Jedd. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kde-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
