Hi,
One of our PC with 8GB HD, 64MB RAM, 52X CD-ROM Drive, is having two partitions of 4GB each. One partitions has Windows 2000, & the other Linux 6.1.
When I type startx at the command prompt, it will take too much time to start the xwindows & once it starts, it will take too much time to execute even simple commands. Is it a problem with the software or any hardware component is missing. Please help me out.
Thanks in advance. PRASAD.

Linux 6.1? Did you mean RedHat6.1? SuSE6.1? Mandrake6.1?

What messages do you get on the console when you startx? Try redirecting the output to a file, and checking - startx > .xsession-errors

[snip] i doubt it has nythin to do with ny missin hardware...iin that case things wouldn't have worked in the 1st place. Thereis some things u can check out though....check out ur Xserver installation....tweak it if necessary....check the VRAM settings of if u have a shared board architecture like the i810-or the 845's have a look at the settings for VRAM that u hav specified... Apart from that there is little that u can do....also test that u can run is...while havin booted into GUI mode....from ur command prompt run.. bash#top This will tell u the processes hoggin memory, logically speaking the Xserver would be the resource hog.....but just in case somethin else is causin the mess....
