I have a weird problem and I hope some of you had it too and know how to fix it.

Its really weird and I dont know where to start with troubleshooting.

Heres the issue:

When I load up a Fluxbox style that came with flux (fluxmenu/SystemStyles) the windows move smooth and I can swap from desktop to desktop with speed and ease. However, if I download and install a style from the Fluxmod web site, and select a user style after I install, the style comes up and looks great, however, the windows lag allot when I move them and switching from desktop to desktop can take over 2 sec. to switch.

Not sure where to go with this, but its kind of annoying. All the functionality is there and no log errors (I have logging enabled for flux.)

System specs are :

dual AMD 2800+, 1 GIG ram, GeForce TI4200 (Full 3d enabled), and 2.6 mm sources.

Thanks for the assistance...

Joe

You can try adding this to your X server config file:

Code:

Option      "RenderAccel"           "1"



let me know if it helps, if it doesnt, post again, and let me know which version of Fbox you are using-

Hey man,

Thanks for the reply... I put that in my xorg.conf under the Section "ServerFlags" section and it is still choppy moving windows.

Im running version fluxbox-0.9.9.

I dont seem to get bad performance in games, just in 2d.

Thanks!!!
