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?

to start the xwindows & once it starts, it will take too much time
What messages do you get on the console when you startx? Try
redirecting the output to a file, and checking -
startx > .xsession-errors

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....
