    It was an answer to another user on another debian ML (as I said), i
    forwarded my question also here cause i wasn't able to find the solution...
    Unfortunately I already configured my video card, i don't use a generic
    driver... Someone told me to upgrade from XFree 4.3.0.1 to Xorg and do
    not use a precompiled binary version of kde but compile the source in
    order to fit perfecly with my architecture. Can it be the best solution?
    I suppose performance will increase in this way, but i was looking for
    solution that can be applied to my running X environmente such as give
    priority to X through nice or something like that...
