Hello all!
I've noticed that after I've started up the X server the console (such
as xterm and the regular console, after shuting down X) gets
incredible slow.
Not slot as in typing or executing commands but moving the cursor on
the console line.
I noticed this after I had to edit a command from my bash history and
it's the same when changing colums/rows manually in vi as well.
My hardware is the same as with slackware 9.1 but I suspect there's
sumething missing from my xorg.conf which automaticly was added in my
old X config file with XFree86.
Both these files were generated automaticly with XFree86 --configure
and Xorg -config(ure?).
Has anybody else noticed this in slackware 10? It's surely something
that I need to add to my xorg.conf I just don't know what.

BTW: Scrolling the sidebar in firebird is quite laggy too, could be
the same thing that makes it behave that way.

And don't ask me for my xorg.conf file just generate one from scratch
and you'll more or less have what I have in mine since all I've added
was the BlankTime option.

Cheers!

This seems a somewhat perverse attitude, you want help but refuse to
provide any useful information telling those that might help you to
generate their own information.

Particularly when those config files are different for each hardware
setup. To the OP, GAFC and post your conf here. Tell us what video card
you're using, what driver you use for it, etc.

Total guess...
Do you have Option "AutoRepeat" set to anything in xorg.conf?
Could be that the autorepeat is set with a long delay, so holding down a
cursor key moves slow.

Nice guess!

Had the AutoRepeat set to the same values I've been using with my
XFree86 configuration file, commented it out and now it works like a
charm!

P.S.
To "Two Ravens" and "Alan Hicks".
Both of you are indeed correct when it comes to posting as much info
as possible if one is expected to get help about a problem.
The reason for my obove statement was becase I was quite certain it
was something more generic than my graphic card settings, yet I know
that is no excuse not to post as much info as possible (In this case
my xorg.conf).

Cheers!
