Hi, I use Netbeans for Java Web development, until recently on a Thinkpad T43p. It used to work very well (i.e. a responsive GUI) on Fedora 11. The T43p had a break down and I had to switch to a T42p as a replacement. Netbeans GUI responsivnes is so slow, it is impossible to work with (e.g. after clicking on the file menue entry you have to wait 13 sec until the menue opens). This is true weather I install a new system on the T42p or just put the T43p's hard disk into it. The hardware is nearly identical, 2 gb RAM, 2Ghz CPU etc. It differs in the ATI video: ATI Mobility FireGL V3200 in case of T43p, ATI Mobility FireL T2 in case of T42p. The problem seems to be specific for Fedora, colleagues using other Linux distros have no problems. I "googled" for possible solutions but only found the advice to deactivate the gtk theme which didn't help here. I checked with an AMD 64 desktop and another ATI card, which is sluggish, but usable with some patience. Questions: a) Did anyone else encountered such problems? b) Does anyone tried to solve it successfully by using the proprietary ATI driver. c) Unfortunately for F11 there is no catalyst / fglrx driver on rpmfusion. Does anyone know another trustworthy source? (I would like to avoid a manual installation as described e.g. here: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=155503 I'm not very familiar with those issues and prefer to rely on people with specialized knowledge, as the maintainers are :-) ) Thanks in advance Peter -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
