Description

Resizing Terminal is very slow, in the same time CPU is idle. It seems to be a new ( < month) issue. Also while resizing text flickers too much.

Can't reproduce this under VMware. Resizing is zippy and it doesn't flicker. Did you test on real hardware?

Yes I did.

I haven't seen this on real hardware here either (Radeon X800). Nor any of the other slowness issues reported.

Do you have a PS/2 or USB mouse?

  Changed 2 months ago by diver

I have a Logitech USB wheel mouse.

Logitech wireless USB mouse here also, though until recently it was hooked up via PS2 due to lack of OHCI. That seems to have made no performance difference here though.

Replying to anevilyak:

OK, I guess that rules out that it is somehow USB mouse related. Moving to app server component.

My _guess_ is that these "slowness" tickets are actually all duplicates of #1823. To harden this suspicion, please test an installation without the native graphics driver (so that the VESA driver is used). If the symptoms disappear, it's #1823. My best guess is that 1823 is an MTRR setup issue, but I don't know enough about this stuff.

I tried VESA mode and it indeed removed slowness and flickering.

Thank! Closing as dup of #1823
