Since I "upgraded" to testing my system has been slow, occasionally to the point that I have power cycled it because I couldn't get it to respond to anything else.
It can take several seconds to pop up a menu and, in the worst case, swapping from one window to another can take minutes, even if the other window is a simple xterm. I have also observed windows being redrawn so slowly that you can can see the rendering creeping slowly down the screen. I think that this all indicates that the graphics is the root of the problem. /var/log/Xorg.0.log suggests that the graphics controller is an "Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller". The only obvious error was a failure to load /usr/lib/dri/i915_dri.so, so I installed libgl1-mesa- dri, which resolved that error, but has not noticeably improved the performance. It's a long time since I've had to debug X, and I'm not sure what else to try. I've had no luck with Googling for this problem. Does anyone have any suggestions?
