I've found a workaround for this myself by simply dropping back to the gutsy X11 client library (/usr/lib/libX11.so.6). Just get a copy of that library from gutsy and put it on your (in my case intrepid) machine under a different directory. Then put that directory in the library path eg:
mkdir /root/fixTheXClient cp -Pv gutsymachine/usr/lib/libX11* /root/fixTheXClient Then whenever you want to run a program with sensible speed graphics: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/root/fixTheXClient:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH {run your program} You can check it's going to use the right one with: ldd {your_program} -- X Forwarding Much Slower on Hardy than Gutsy (ssh and telnet) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/241063 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
