Message-ID: <1992Aug17.211128.7958@novatel.cuc.ab.ca> Organization: "NovAtel Communications Ltd." Date: Mon, 17 Aug 1992 21:11:28 GMT Lines: 27 Hi... I've just gotten the X386 server to work properly on a DELL 325 with a noname brand ET3000 card and a DELL Super VGA monitor. The server is running in 800x600 mode... I started the server about 18 hours ago and left it with only two xterm's, an icon box, and an xclock running... There was basically no activity all night. This morning I did a "ps -agx" and noticed that X386 had racked up 1145:23.29 CPU (minutes?)... That's sort of horrendous isn't it? I'm presently typing on an Apollo DN3500 running an X11R4 server... The node's been up since July 16th and is the node I work on all day long every day and it's only racked up 465 CPU minutes... I'm wondering if there's something brutal going on in the X386 server... I mean, I realize that an ET3000 is not your typically fast card but XTerm's are REALLY grim... Maybe I'm just used to this Apollo (which, on it's own is not overly impressive compared to say an HP720...) I dunno... Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this? -- "I was early to finish | hpeyerl@novatel.cuc.ab.ca <Reply-To> | I brew | I was late to start, I | peyerlh@cuug.ab.ca | there- | might be an adult, but | #define JANITOR "Network Administrator"| fore I | I'm a minor at heart." | JANITOR, NovAtel Communications Ltd.| AM. |
