Hi;
Posted problems I am having with FC6 yesterday -- I wanted to update my
problems.
Tried to follow the discussions about, Compiz, AGLX, FGLRX drivers on
the
list but none seem applicable to my problem.
My display has ground almost to a halt. Screen redrawing is painfully
slow. Various application gui are missplacing themselves on the screen
even after repositioning them after installing a higher resolution and
bunch of other small config things are going wrong. Saving sessions
isn't working.
'Desktop Effects' cannot be enabled.
I am using a wallpaper (*.jpg) on my desktop. I have an ATI rage 128
SM/4x AGP/4x Expert 2000. My # Xorg configuration created by
system-config-display says:

FC6 installed the display at 1600x1200 resolution when it was previously
running 1280x1024 in FC5. (I prefer the 1600x1200 now that I've gotten
used to it.) I have a Compaq V90 monitor, installed as a generic CRT.
Some other problems that may be related
- TV reception using tvtime is unstable.
- slow redraw
- 'Chess' crashes; command line says GL: Warning: RenderTexture size is
restricted to size of framebuffer. If you are on Linux, consider using
GLX instead of SDL.
- 'Stellarium' produces unclear text
- Sessions problems
- evolution 2.8.1.1 doesn't save its sizing
- can't start as panel icons - insist on starting maximum
- notecase [filename]
- stickynotes_applet
- xchat-gnome
- want to start background wallpaper first
- mail summary opens at random positions not top right as configured
I have added the following lines to xorg.conf. They are a direct lift
from the FC5 xorg.conf I used to use.
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "Monitor Vendor"
ModelName "COMPAQ V90"
DisplaySize 350 270
### Comment all HorizSync and VertSync values to use DDC:
HorizSync 30.0 - 94.0
VertRefresh 48.0 - 160.0
Option "dpms"
EndSection
Section "DRI"
Group 0
Mode 0666
EndSection
I seemed to be missing monitor, DRI and compiz components, but I am not
sure they are necessary.
Could someone suggest a fix? Is my graphics card too old? Are all my
small display problems related to my graphics or are they (or most of
them) simply new bugs in applications? Is this a bug?
