It is the 'ssh -X zita2 emacs' that is very slow. Running emacs locally is perfectly OK. The previous install was F9, it used nv, and the same 'ssh -X zita2 emacs' worked perfectly. Nothing has changed on zita2.
As far as I can see, the Arch installation tries to enable 3D-acceleration by installing 'drm'. I don't want it. How can it be disabled ?
It seems I read your mail too quickly. But if only apps through ssh are slow, why would you suspect video driver, and not network / ssh speed ?
And why would 3d acceleration make your X-forwarded 2d app slow ?
By the way, you have no 3d-accel at all with nv, just very basic 2d. And afaik drm does not do anything on its own. It just provides the core of graphic drivers, like nouveau for instance. nv does not use it either. And there is no reason for using nv nowadays, nouveau does better in every aspect ! and nouveau does rely on drm so you will want to keep that.
That said you can blacklist whatever you want, just have a look at /etc/rc.conf. You could also try blacklisting your network driver, I am sure it will make everything much faster :)
This is what has always happened ever since I started living on mobile broadband, and with a local ISP that has a fat 12Mbps (100 at "partner sites") pipe but latencies at which you can never win an online gameplay. Load up a live Fedora and see if you can't reproduce this, in which case we would have something to work on. -- GPG/PGP ID: B42DDCAD
