freebsd7 & kde4 & performance

[freebsdemail at gmail.com]

Hi Michael,

Unfortunetly I've been having the same difficulty with KDE4. I've tried using both the nv driver as well as nvidia.

My hardware is intel core2 duo 1.8ghz, nvidia 8600 gs with 512 dedicated memory and 2gigs of system memory. I've tried using 7.0, 7.1 and 8.0(Current) with all malloc debugging features disabled as well as kernel debugging options turned off. I've also tried switching back to UFS filesystems from ZFS(root install) to no avail.

In the end I ended up using kde3 due to endless headaches. I felt I'd share this in hopes someone has managed to get it to run reasonably well.

Regards,

Tom

Hi,

I'm a little bit disappointed with the performance of kde4 on freebsd7.
I have Pentium M 2GHz, 1GB RAM, radeon x300, tried both, radeon and ati
drivers, but kde4 is still so slow that I cannot work with it. Is it
because of poor graphic card or driver itself? I'm looking forward to
any suggestions.

Cheers,
 Michal
