I have a Radeon 9200SE. It is certainly using DRI at 24bpp. I can't test the X settings hypothesis right now as I have a lot of unsaved work open. Sounds likely though! > Just a thought, I don't know, since we're talking about "drawing" > problems that I assume are performed mostly by the graphics card. We really have two problems here. One, LyX is inefficiently redrawing too much for simple text edits. Two, the X server is running badly due to likely driver issues. The first one should be fixed as a priority as it really hurts the cause. Have fun, Darren
