Re: gEDA-user: PCB very slow on new laptop
I'll have to figure out how to do that. It does has 4 GB system memory though, don't know how much video RAM it will allocate.

When trying to zoom in or scroll, it is incredibly slow - taking a second or more to do any action. I'm running pcb on another laptop and it doesn't have any problems, it's very fast, and I'm testing them with the same pcb file. I suspect that it has something to do with the Intel integrated graphics, as the other laptop has ATI. Has anyone encountered these problems? btw, new one is running 32-bit Ubuntu 10.10 (soon to upgrade to 64-bit), the other is running 64-bit 10.04. PCB version is the same: 20091103, plucked from the Ubuntu repos.

With anything reasonably recent, it will allocate what it needs - the memory pool is completely shared. With Ubuntu 10.10, you should be fine. I do run a later kernel with mine though (the one from Natty) - as it has better support for these chips. What video chip do you have? It may be that it is a new enough chip that you need to get a more recent kernel and/or video driver. Aside from this - Intel integrated graphics just isn't very powerful, but it does sound like you're seeing a bug rather than just a limit of the hardware. -- Peter Clifton Electrical Engineering Division, Engineering Department, University of Cambridge, 9, JJ Thomson Avenue, Cambridge CB3 0FA Tel: +44 (0)7729 980173 - (No signal in the lab!)

Fairly new, but it isn't a Sandy-bridge, which might still have some issues with the drivers. -- Peter Clifton Electrical Engineering Division, Engineering Department, University of Cambridge, 9, JJ Thomson Avenue, Cambridge CB3 0FA Tel: +44 (0)7729 980173 - (No signal in the lab!)
