Thank you All, For your valuable feedbacks, I will test GNOME-3 again w/o animations as suggested, while I am on MATE for the time being.
Using X with EXA acceleration for TRIDENT video chip has problems updating display occasionally, trailing some garbage on the screen, it looks as if it could not cope with non-rectangular shapes. [ 25.342] (==) TRIDENT(0): Depth 24, (--) framebuffer bpp 32 Could there be some specific settings for EXA I am not aware of? I took EXA from "testing" fork, as stable has had problems with X, a bug corrected upstream. Many thanks so far. -- Tomas Kral <thomas.k...@email.cz> On Mon, 2016-05-16 at 21:01 +0000, Liam O'Toole wrote: > On 2016-05-16, Tomas Kral <thomas.k...@email.cz> wrote: > > Dear Pete and All, > > > > I also use LXDE on RPI, that is our second machine in the household. > > > > I quite like GNOME for its appearance ala MacOS, and the new version of > > GNOME has got many new great ideas, it looks awesome, though it does not > > perform very well on my older PC platform. > > > > I also tried X with fewer colours, but did not help much. > > > > Many thanks so far. > > Have you tried disabling animations in GNOME 3? > > gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface enable-animations false >
