GDM Slows to a crawl after upgrade... The system: PowerPC 1999 NewWorld iMac 350MHz 320MB RAM ATI Rage128 graphics (6MB video, I think); (also shows up as a Firewire MoBo but there aren't any external firewire ports. On a funny note, the internal modem was hit by lightning in 2000 but FC5Test keeps thinking the modem is there but not responding; so I get a modem related start-up error... LOL.) Some background: OK, anyways, I upgraded GDM this past weekend and the graphics subsystem immediately crawled to a halt and died. Last week, on an unrelated issue someone had suggested I try "vesa" -- I did that after I changed the runlevel to 3 and edited /etc/X11/xorg.conf -- the vesa suggestion didn't work, but read on ... I then tried startx from runlevel 3 and got a ton of errors. After the system display config TUI installed a new xorg.conf the gdm and kde graphics systems started working again without any lag. Except for a line saying I want 24bit color as default -- the old file and the new file look identical. Am I on the right troubleshooting path? Every now and again the graphics slows to a crawl for few moments then works as expected. This system does not have network connectivity and I am thinking this is somehow networking related. I plumbed the eth0 to inet 192.168.1.254 and pointed the default route and the DNS to the same address. Now all seems to working correctly. My question: Has the 'lo 127.0.0.1' interface started being ignored now? -- WC -Sx- Jones | http://ccsh.us/ | Open Source Consulting -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
