speed

I noticed that scrolling text in new linux versions (RH 8, slack 10,etc.) , such as scrolling down in Konsole and KWrite, is a little bit choppy! It is not that choppy in windows.
when I had linux redhat 7.0 it was very fast and didn't have choppy scroling!
Does any oone know why :?:

Check the various control centers if there's an option called 'smooth scrolling'.

have you got the relevent driver gfx driver installed?

I didn't see "smooth scroling" in the control center of kde.
did you mean the control center of kde or gnome or what?
But now I switched to 800 x 600 and scrolling is a little bit faster.
Yes, it is someting that has to do with graphics preformence.
my graphincs card is crap (ati rage pro 4 mb Integrated ! )
it doesn't even have a 70 hz at 1024 mode but on windows xp it does because I have the driver.
