I am running the latest xorg version and have setup x to run with xfce4. I am having trouble.
1.First of all, when I type startx, the screen blanks and flashes for a while and X takes a long time to start - possibly 2-3 minutes or more. It then takes additional time before the icons and panel appear.
2.If I attempt to start a program, there is around a 30 second to 1 minute gap between mouse click and the program starting.
3. On shutdown of X, at first the problem was a flashing screen as if the system was hung / frozen. I had to ctl-alt-delete and eventually the machine would reboot. Today, I have attempted to log out of xfce and the system just seems to have hung. I clicked logout 10 minutes ago. Obviously, this worries me that it may cause damage to my machine.
I am not sure where to start in identifying and fixing these problems. Please can somebody help me.
