Hi all,
If I run KDE on the laptop and run Konsole or xterm, I can type commands immediately. Running alsamixer is also fine.
Running fluxbox with xterms, input into xterm is delayed on startup by at least 10 to 30 seconds. Nothing echoed to the terminal while I type. Eventually it will show up. Running alsamixer in it caused bits of the ncurses display to screw up, last time I ran it. The volume control levels would be half-drawn etc.
Any suggestions what might be the cause and how to fix?
I'll try disabling xorg compositing as suggested here: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/xterm-delayed-input-fro... but I'd rather like to keep compositing alive any time I run KDE...
Thanks, Srdjan
