I haven't rebooted in a few weeks now. I tried to watch a video a bit ago and it was slow again. It was down to about 2 or 3 frames per second. It is awful. If I go tell it to switch to opengl, it gets fast again but after a while it will go back to being really slow. Why do I have to keep telling it to use nvidia's opengl when it says it is using it and I have switched to a few times? If it is using it, why does it slow down until I tell it to switch? I did do a huge KDE upgrade the other day. I don't recall seeing anything else X related being updated but I could have missed something in that LONG list. I did do a baselayout upgrade and portage itself has been upgraded a few times. Any ideas on why this thing keeps doing this? Would a reboot even help in this situation? Dale :-) :-)
