Hey all, I'm new to the list, so please forgive if this topic has been covered. (I didn't see anything in the archives.)
I recently upgraded my Toshiba Satellite 4080XCDT from RedHat 6.1 to potato. I run Enlightenment 0.16.3, which is what I was running under RedHat as well. I have noted several problems: 1. The mouse has a tendency to "schitz out." I can move the mouse around the screen, and about one time in three, it will jump to the upper right corner, where it will continuously drop menus until I let go and let it go and start moving it again. Any windows across whose titlebar the mouse passes gets windowshaded. It will also not cut and paste when using the two-button "eraserhead" that comes with the laptop (although it does fine when using an external 3-button mouse). Lastly (for now), Enlightenment seems more choppy here than it did under RedHat. Raster has written E in such a way that system events are timed rather than just occurring. For instance, changing a desktop takes a set amount of time on every machine, say, 1 second. For faster machines, the process is smooth, while for resource-constrained machines, it may appear to happen in 3 or 4 or 5 "steps." This machine, which is a PII/366 with 192MB of RAM should smooth scroll, however, even with no load on the machine (no windows open under X, etc), it takes 4 or 5 steps instead of smooth scrolling. Netscape exhibits similar behavior when moving the window or scrolling. Anyone have any ideas on any of this? Thanks, --Brad
