Hi, I recently installed FreeBSD 5.2.1 on my Toshiba Satellite 1605CDS. The install took a few tries but I finally got it. My problem is that X is VERY slow. KDE takes around 10 minutes to load and then is virtually unusable. I tried going lightweight with Fluxbox , which loads quickly but any heavy graphics app (mozilla for example) loads very slowly also and is virtually unusable. I'm pretty sure it's my XF86Config . (I had a hard time just to get it to run X)....it doesn't seem to be recognizing my video card properly. I am relatively new to Freebsd, although I've been tooling around with nix for a year or so now so i have a bit of experience. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. My main aim is to have this laptop run KDE. Thanks! Jimmy "Oh my!!! The gerbils are eating my pie!!!"
