I have a 486/50, running FreeBSD and a simple Trident 8900 SVGA video card. I am quite impressed with the performance of X on the machine. I ran the x11perf program on my machine and compared it with the same on a SUN IPC. For small size drawings, the performance of my humble machine actually was better than that of the Sun. For large area drawings, my machine had significantly poorer performace. Is the xlock program something that uses a full screen drawing? -- Jin Mazumdar (internet:) mazumdar@cs.fredonia.edu >>> Dept.
