Hi,
I installed both KDE and Gnome and was surprised that KDE performs better. Gnome is just too slow. Is anyone successfully runnig Gnome? What tweaks could be applied? |

Meanwhile i did a full install of kde. - apt-get install kdebase - edit .xinitrc to "exec startkde" - edit kdmrd to login as root "AllowRootLogin=true" Great. My c3200 boots into KDE!!!!!!!!!! - Sound is working  - Touchscreen is not set up  - Mouse-Pointer is not working

Can we make assumptions on that based on eg. boot times ? Oliver The performance was o.k. (for a 400mhz processsor). Slow but acceptable. Sound-output was extremely delaying and the touchscreen seemed unusable. Instead, i used a usb-mouse. If sound-output and the touchscreen-issues can be fixed - kde will be a comfortable, attractive desktop-enviroment. |
