XFCE and Mandrake

Aeon · 09-19-2003, 11:19 PM

I plan to install Mandrake Linux 9.1 on my laptop, and was wondering what distro of XFCE comes with Mandrake? I assume it's Version 3 correct?
Of all the windows managers, which one is the fasted? Well, at least relatively, which one acording to your opinion uses the least system resources?
I heard good things about XFCE so I thought I'd give it a try.

For lightweight window managers, I like Blackbox.

Aeon,

I feel XFce is about the best thing out there. I am sure version 3 is still in Mandrake 9.1. XFce4.0 was just released yesterday. I am running it on Mandy9.1 and it runs very nice.

If you want max speed use fluxbox but if you want speed and look good then choose XFCE4 it rocks!!!!!!

Probably too late to help you, but I've got the same model
so I can tell you what I've got in /etc/X11/xorg.conf with Slack-10.0

Code:

HorizSync  -  31.5 - 50.0
VertRefresh  -  40-90

$ xrandr
Pixels  800 x 600   Refresh  *73

Option  "Protocol"  "PS/2"
Option  "Device"  "/dev/mouse"

I'm trying to get the winmodem and sound working. If you
have any ideas, I would appreciate the help.
