Turns out I misunderstood. X works fine when started manually from a full system. The performance problem strikes when a 10.1 kernel is dropped in when setting up a *production* system, with severely stripped-down userland. This introduces a whole bunch more possible reasons for the failure. I'm going to have to investigate before I can really say more. My apologies to everyone for the wild-goose-chase post. Well, semi-; there likely *is* a real problem, but there are now a lot more places it could be coming from. /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML [email protected] / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
