- Hi...
-
- I've just gotten the X386 server to work properly on a
- DELL 325 with a noname brand ET3000 card and a DELL Super
- VGA monitor. The server is running in 800x600 mode...
-
- I started the server about 18 hours ago and left it with only
- two xterm's, an icon box, and an xclock running... There was
- basically no activity all night. This morning I did a "ps -agx"
- and noticed that X386 had racked up 1145:23.29 CPU (minutes?)...
- That's sort of horrendous isn't it? I'm presently typing on an
- Apollo DN3500 running an X11R4 server... The node's been up since
- July 16th and is the node I work on all day long every day and it's
- only racked up 465 CPU minutes...
-
- I'm wondering if there's something brutal going on in the X386 server...
- I mean, I realize that an ET3000 is not your typically fast card
- but XTerm's are REALLY grim... Maybe I'm just used to this Apollo
- (which, on it's own is not overly impressive compared to say an
- HP720...)
-
- I dunno... Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this?
