1.2.0 and 1.3.0.<br><br>For the archive: If navigating through the list of recordings is slow in<br>high resolution with some themes, then try another Xorg version!</blockquote><div><br>Thanks for that. I tried installing Xorg
7.3 (aka server 1.4) and it has improved some things but not the problem with slow menus that I have. I tried it with and without the latest Nvidia driver (169.07) but I still get the problem with tearing with the driver and slow menus without.
<br><br>Oh well.<br></div><br></div><br>-- <br>Paul Mason
