Hi all, I just installed FreeBSD v4.10. All installed OK & I choose KDE as the Desktop Problem: KDE v3 is reallly SLOW!! - Takes 2 minutes to start/load !! - Just opening a simple Console takes almost a minute !! - Resolution looks really grainy - as if its 256 colors - Don't know how to change this ??? My System: Pentium 200Mhz 128MB RAM 16MB Creative Graphics Blaster Riva TNT I have Windows 2000 installed on the Primary Boot partition & that runs very fast. I thought that FreeBSD with KDE would run just as fast if not faster than Windows 2000 ??? If it helps, the only thing I can think of is whether the system loaded the correct Graphics Card ?? - BUT I don't know how to check this ?? - Cannot find a Display Properties like windows that lists the Graphics Card ?? Any suggestions/help is greatly appreciated :)) BTW: I searched Google Groups & freebsd Digest before posting but not much help :( Regards, DK __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Y!
