i can CLEARLY see a difference, i have a nvidia geforce2 ultra, and the
nvidia driver. usually i run seti_at_home distributed computing, and i
thought it was this who did it, but then i stopped run it, and it
doesent affect it. in all the other window managers i've tried its
springly smooth, both ways. myself, i can think of 2 reasons for this
happen.
there are 2 ways to drag a window.
1: you move the window, and ask all other windows on the screen to
redraw themselves
2: when i press alt + leftmouse the X server do it, and the X server
moves the window, and just saves whats around the window, and redraw it,
so the application doesent need to.
second way is fastest, but you have to allocate some more memory, fair
enough, more memory usage, but in advance performance.
i thought if all the other window managers does it the second way, if
there is something i can do to make my fvwm do it that way too,
although, im not sure i am right on this. i attached my config, my
config is of 2 things, a script in /usr/bin, and my ~/.fvwm, both
attached.'
hope someone can help.
