I've just installed Mdk 9.0 on an Athlon XP 1600+ 1.4 ghz machine. When
I fired up X it took hela long (like 5 min!) for it to start. I tried
everything I could think of and then eventually installed Mdk 8.2
overtop of it as an experiment. Sure enough, X is just as slow in 8.2
as it is in 9.0. I've set the system so that it has a whole Gig of space
for swap so I don't think that this is the problem. My video card is an
AGP Vodoo 3 2000 and it has worked fine on other machines running Mandrake.
Now I've never owned an Athlon XP processor before and my greatest fear
is that it is a Win-processor similar to other monopoly-ware fomented by
M$ such as Win-printers and Win-modems. Say it aint so, because if it
is, it means that the only way I can fix this is to get a hammer and
make sure nobody else gets screwed by this particular processor. I'll
do it too.
