gnome 2.8 too slow
Hi all,

I've been using Gnome since 2.4.x in my notebook, now I'm running 2.6.2,
Thins night I noticed that Gnome 2.8 is marked as ~x86 I've decided to
give it a try.

It runs weel, but some windows (specially mozilla) renders TOO VERY
FSCKING SLOW!

Is there anyone using Gnome 2.8 and noticed that pain or its just me?

My notebook is a Athlon 2400+ with 512MB DDR Gnome 2.6.x runs very well
on it...

Hi,
Using gnome-2.8 for a week, not any noticeable difference from 2.6 ver.
HW - Athlon-2200+, 256 MB. Check with revdep-rebuild, maybe some apps
need re-emerging.

I'm trying to install gnome 2.8 but. I've unmasked all packages
required, but when trying to install gnome-vfs it fails with the
resulting output:

it's disabled per default... so when you don't know it, it will be
disabled ;)

look in your xorg.conf

Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Disable"
Option "RENDER" "Enable"
EndSection

when there is no such section it's disabled

Hi,
Not very sure but have you tried re-emerging neon and after that
gnome-vfs again?
Also remove all files from /var/tmp/portage/gnome-vfs-2.8.1 - the emerge
work directory. Could run revdep-rebuild too before trying again.
Also could try running: ldconfig, fix_libtool_files.sh (--help) before
next try.
