I found out why I've been have slow response in my system. I have the Intel 810 chipset with integrated video. Without modifying X, there is only 4mb set aside for video.
I haven't done so yet, but I will try to adjust this and see if it helps.
If I am incorrect, let me know, thanks. |

| The Xserver has probably nothing to do with it. Better change BIOS settings that control memory allocation for the onboard graphics card. |

I found this(about the i810 integrated mobo) out according to xorg.conf info from FreeBSD. I could not find anything definitive from Linux sources.
K info center states 518MB (512MB installed) Total system memory.
Correct me if I am wrong, and maybe this was old Linux kernels, but I thought Linux ignored the BIOS. I thought Linux read devices from the devices themselves, not what BIOS reported.
Last I read about this was 7-8 years ago. |

| Bios only allows 8MB. Can X.config override this? |

Yes it can:
Option "VideoRam" "65536"
32 MB is default with dri already. That would be twice the default. |

Where is that option set, I assume in xorg.conf? I've had this problem with i810 mobos too, although mine default to 2 mB
32 mB is plenty, but how do I tell xorg to do that? |

| In the Device section where i810 driver is defined. |
