I have just installed XFree86 I got from agate on my 386BSD. Then I have noticed that when I open two or more xterm, it is too slow. It was swapping all the time. Is this the way it is, or am i missing something here? I have 8Meg RAM with 169Meg HD for my BSD. And running 1024x768 with Tseng card with SONY 1304. Thanks in advance. I get resident set sizes of 1Mb for X386, 800K for xterm and 600K for twm. I wouldn't expect that to overload an 8mb system. Check the resident set sizes with 'ps axl' to see what's hogging all of your memory. Rich
