Hi everybody,
I have a Lenovo Ideacentre A300 all-in-one desktop with Mobile Intel GMA 4500M video card. In BIOS I saw read that this card has 32 MB VRAM which is not really much. But anyway I have heavy performance issues with KDE.
I've used Kubuntu 10.04 before and to be honest, the performance wasn't very good but a bit better.
Then I have updated to Kubuntu 10.10 but I wasn't able to use it as the latest version of Ubuntu does not recognizes my built-in screen.
So I decided to try FreeBSD/PC-BSD. I was able to fix most of these issues I had but the performance of KDE is simply terrible and I'm not able to work with this system. It needs about 10 seconds before Firefox is started for example.
It doesn't matter if the desktop effects are enabled or disabled.
Any Idea what can I do. Some tricks to improve the xorg.conf? I don't need this computer for games so 3D acceleration is not important for me.
I should also mention that I'm using two monitors side by side and it probably need also bit more power but if I disable the second on, the behavior is not much better.
Regards,
Radek
