Hello all,
Today I installed Arch on my desktop which previously had Fedora. All works well except
ssh -X zita2 emacs
where zita2 is my laptop.
It works, but it is ex tre me ly slow, I can count the lines being displayed when scrolling a page. This used to work perfectly before. Other apps doing quite intensive X work don't seem to be affected. OTOH, the emacs running on the laptop is of course the same as before.
Video driver is 'nv', but it doesn't show up in lsmod. Some others do: 'drm' and 'ttm' which I haven't seen before. As far as I was able to find out, 'drm' is related to 3D-acceleration. I don't need nor want this, and I'm suspecting it could be related to the problem I'm seeing.
Any hints/help will be appreciated !
Are you sure you were using nv on fedora ? nv is indeed extremely slow. Fedora 11 apparently used nouveau as default : http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/NouveauAsDefault You can also install it easily on Arch, just have a look at http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Nouveau
