after updating to xf86-video-vesa-1.2.1 (from -1.0.1.3) X becomes unbearably slow: scrolling takes ages, moving windows is also visibly slowed down. going back to 1.0.1.3 (and downgrading xorg-server as well) returns to the previous state of affairs. i'd estimate the slow-down to be an order of magnitude at least. emerge --info Portage 2.1_rc4-r4 (default-linux/x86/2006.0, gcc-3.4.6, glibc-2.3.6-r3, 2.6.16-suspend2-r8-ahci i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.16-suspend2-r8-ahci i686 Genuine Intel(R) CPU T2600 @ 2.16GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.12.1 dev-lang/python: 2.4.2 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 dev-util/ccache: [Not Present] dev-util/confcache: [Not Present] sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.17 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1-r2 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.13-r2 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium-m -msse3 -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /opt/vmware/workstation/lib/modules/binary /usr/kde/3.4/env /usr/kde/3.4/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/shutdown /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium-m -msse3 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks metadata-transfer sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/gentoo/ ftp://mirror.switch.ch/mirror/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.solnet.ch/mirror/Gentoo http://gentoo.mirror.solnet.ch http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/www.ibiblio.org/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.mirrorservice.org/sites/www.ibiblio.org/gentoo/ " MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude='/distfiles' --exclude='/local' --exclude='/packages'" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage-pkalin /usr/local/portage-local" SYNC="rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X Xaw3d a52 aac aalib acpi alsa apache2 apm arts audiofile avi bash-completion berkdb bitmap-fonts bluetooth bzip2 calendar cdinstall cdparanoia cdr cli crypt cscope ctype cups curl curlwrappers dbm dbus dga dio directfb dri dts dv dvb dvd dvdr dvdread eds emacs emacs-w3 emboss encode esd ethereal exif expat fam fastcgi fbcon ffmpeg fftw flac flash flatfile foomaticdb fortran ftp gcj gd gdbm geoip ggi gif ginac glut gmp gnutls gphoto2 gpm gps gstreamer gtk gtk2 gtkhtml guile hal iconv idn ieee1394 imagemagick imap imlib inifile innodb ipv6 isdnlog jabber jack java javascript jikes jpeg jpeg2k junit kde kdeenablefinal lapack lcms ldap leim lesstif libcaca libedit libg++ libgda libwww lirc lm_sensors mad mbox mcal mhash mikmod mime ming mmap mmx mng mnogosearch motif mozilla mp3 mpeg mpi msession mysql mysqli ncurses netcdf nls nptl nsplugin ocaml odbc offensive ofx ogg oggvorbis openal opengl oscar oss pam pcmcia pcntl pcre pda pdf pdflib perl php plotutils png portaudio posix postgres ppds pppd prelude profile python qdbm qt quicktime readline recode reflection ruby samba sasl scanner sdl session sharedext sharedmem shorten simplexml skey slang slp smartcardsndfile soap sockets sox speex spell spl sqlite sqlite3 sse sse2 ssl svg svga symlink sysvipc szip tcltk tcpd tetex theora threads tidy tifftokenizer truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev unicode usb v4l vcd vhosts videos vorbis wddx wifi win32codecs wmf wxwindows xface xine xinerama xml xml2 xmlrpc xmms xorg xosd xpm xsl xv xvid yahoo yaz zeo zlib elibc_glibc input_devices_keyboard input_devices_mouse input_devices_synaptics kernel_linux userland_GNU video_cards_vesa" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
