all terminals (and only terminals) in xorg loading SLOWLY after upgrade (wheezy)
Hi,
I'm currently upgraded to wheezy and also upgraded the package firmware-linux-nonfree. Now when I open a terminal (only in my xwindows manager) the terminal text takes FOREVER to load (30 seconds maybe). I'm thinking this is because of mode-setting that my graphics card is doing? something like that? All other (non-terminal based) applications load quickly without problems. I'm not sure that this terminal issue is a result of the upgrade, but am wondering whether I should downgrade. If I should downgrade, how exactly should I go about doing that? Any help with this would be awesome. my graphics card is a ATI Mobility FireGL V5250 I could also try fglrx...not sure if it will work with a graphics card this old |
I'm pretty sure that chip is no longer supported by the fglrx driver.
Do you have direct rendering? Code:
$ glxinfo | grep render Code:
$ xterm Code:
$ konsole Code:
$ terminal |
Hey thanks for answering my question...it was actually something wrong with my /etc/profile, and nothing wrong with my graphics card. In fact the new firmware-linux-nonfree package in wheezy works beautifully on both my radeon/ati cards. Thanks for the response though.
