could other people running build 8.2 on XO-1 please try various xset commands, before martin makes this final? in my testing, setting the final argument to 0 resulted in extremely jerky performance. if setting the last arg to 4 is too slow, i think using 1, 2, or 3, would be a better choice than 0. paul =--------------------- paul fox, p...@laptop.org _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
