Hi,
I've just built my Linux server (quad Pentium Pro 200) with SuSE Linux 8 and in KDE it ... well ... pauses!
It's not particularly fast anyway and that i accept but when I click anything it doew nothing until I do something else e.g. click again or move the mouse out of focus.
Any ideas?
No, I have no ideas. But I would think thats a pretty small machine to be running KDE on.
WHAT? Read it again. He has FOUR PP200 CPUs in the box. That ought to be quite a bit faster than my box with a single Celeron 333, which runs KDE nicely.
And you mentioned elsewhere that you have a 8Mb video card, which probably doesn't help.
No, but that should not be much of a problem, unless the driver for it is buggy.
If you are running a server, and are not totally attached to KDE (fine tho it is), you may want to look into WindowMaker, Xfce or Blackbox. All of which put far less load on the server.
IceWM is also nice and fast. Since it is a server, I would suggest getting rid of X and admin the box over webmin instead. Regards Ole
