Improve xwindows performance

Juan Gonzalez_2 — Wed, 14 Jun 2006 10:55:57 GMT

I am running SUSE Linux 8 and xwindows is a bit slow. Is there any thing I can modify to get xwindows to run faster?

Thanks in advance,
Juan Gonzalez

Shalom Juan,

Are you sure its X windows? Take a look at sar to find out the real problem.

X Windows performance is a controlled by system performance and video driver and such. The driver is an important factor.

What is your RAM size?
I guess that you run KDE/GNOME, not just X Window. Got such configuration you need min. 256MB, optimal size >=512MB.
