FreeBSD 7 and KDE 3 really laggy, need some tips.

Hi all!


I made some mistakes on my PC and ended up with a new install, long story short, I installed nvidia 177... and KDE3 from packages, everything is fine BUT when in KDE its really laggy..
I run twinview on two 19" tft.

I have a nvidia geforce 7300 - 256mb, 1,3 Gig in ram, 1,4 ghz processor, 250gig HDD so i dont think its the hardware.

But I wuld appriciate som tips on logfiles to exam so I can perhaps solve this problem.


Best Regards
Mikael
 
I would guess that you are describing that the graphics are laggy? Do you have the nvidia driver installed?
 
problem solved!

Hardware error, seemes like the grafic card was broken... x(

So now on to next problem, making a ATI-card run twinview.. But thats another story. =)
