GTK? X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 05 Oct 2004 06:41:34 -0000 I am running FreeBSD 5.2.1. I installed it about a week ago, and installed X.org 6.7.0 with KDE 3.3 from the most recent cvs versions at the time. The same was done for GTK (2.4.9), Firefox (0.9.3), aMule (1.2.8), and Gaim (0.82.1). Firefox and aMule both seem to have major problems with GUI interaction, while Gaim does not, so I'm not sure if it's a GTK problems specifically. Firefox will sometimes hang slightly, not allowing my to type into textboxes, such as the URL box, or in forms. It usually hangs for about 1-2 seconds, then allows interaction again. Often I can type, but text doesn't show up for 1-2 seconds as well. aMule performs similarly, though a bit more extreme. Restoring the window from minimization causes it to appear blank for 3-5 seconds, then appear. Sometimes at this point I can interact with the window immediately, though typically I then experience a delay in clicking buttons, moving sliding, resizing listviews, etc. The delay will be in effect for any given amount of time, then it will suddenly work fine again. At this point I have no clue how to fix this problem. I have yet to experience it in any other applications, though previous to installing FreeBSD this most recent time, I had installed it about 2 weeks prior (I had to reinstall due to some problems I encountered), and experienced the same problem. I would appreciate help that anybody would have to offer. Thanks, Travis Troyer _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!
