flaw in Mandrake Control Center for video cards
|
In brief, I tested LXDE from December 2010, compared with the newest version, from June 2011, and found that the newer version is slightly faster, by measurement of times recorded with the testing algorithm I have described in the blogs on this site, however, that slight improvement (less than 5% faster with the newer edition) comes at a heavy price:
The famous Mandrake Control Center in the newest LXDE has a flaw: The "test" capability for evaluating video cards has been removed in the version of LXDE from June 2011.
I recommend using the older version, until that problem is resolved....
