I have one big main monitor, and a small monitor rotated into portrait
mode on each side. The main monitor is for development; the left
monitor for email, sticky notes, and music; the right monitor for my
various chat windows.

Yes. Four monitors with one desktop means there's a lot of overhead
in the X core, it *really* slows down certain types of operations
because the proprietary nvidia drivers don't combine them in hardware.
I'm hoping to get the latest nouveau drivers to do a

Sounds like an OpenGL driver problem - it must be using software
emulation (or perhaps lack a full range visuals with stencil bits).

I have a pair of Nvidia 9800 GT cards in my box, and yet the plain X
Lesstif HID still blows everything else away. The cards alone are
only part of the pipeline.
Do you have an explanation for this?

I have a pair of Nvidia 9800 GT cards in my box, and yet the plain X
Lesstif HID still blows everything else away. The cards alone are
only part of the pipeline.

IMHO, "lesstif or GTK" is not connected to "OpenGL or plain X".
The first pair is the widget set, which is about buttons, menus and
windows. The second is the choice of gr

The blockage at the moment is me. I've got a ton of work to do for
Devcon, plus other things taking up time. By mid-october I should
have time to do stuff again.
My plan is to release pcb-1.99za just to clean up some segfaults and
get the importer "released" so that project can be closed out.
