Well, I tried the suggestion from methyl which has both a 32-bit as 64-bit client.

Both had the same issue.

okay, it seems that nowadays that we're looking it deeper than it should be.

As I earlier mentioned, the GPU of the graphic card was 100% most of the times when performing different commands on the terminal, wether it would be a 32 or 64 bt client.

So I took a spare graphic card (NVDIA based instead of AMD RADEON based) from home and everything works flaweless and smooth.

Why did the other pc's/laptop also had the issue: because they also have AMD RADEON cards.

Conclusion: 2D rendering with AMD RADEON is painfully bad implemented in combination with x11.

Thanks for the effort and time you guys provided for assisting in this issue.

Cheers,
Kristof

The sad fact is that most 'radeons' these days are about as bad as integrated intel graphics. Really scraping the bottom of the barrel. And worse, they dominate the market. To get graphics as good as used to come with consumer machines you now have to buy premium.

Not doing a lot of good for ATI's good name, I tell you. ATI has good cards somewhere I suppose but I just don't bother with the brand at all.

Since the windows 7 host, I expirience a gigantic lag when using terminals or using x11 in general that I reverted back to putty terminals. (Of which is nothing wrong but multiple desktops are quite handy instead of 20 putty's on the taskbar)

Things I did to check but didn't have the desired effect:

- updated local hardware drivers
- tried several x11 client solutions
- playing around with x11 connection parameters
- checked on other hosts (also win 7 64 bit)
- ...
just curious -- why not just export xterms to your windows box? you can easily cut and paste between xterm windows from different servers and even into ms windows apps ... and the network and cpu loads are much less ... it's been helpful to me especially with scripting or sending screen debug info to somebody ... you do need to change the prompts though so each window will always tell you the hostname ... fixing the xterm title line would also be a big help ...

anyways ... just my 2 cents ...

happy new year!
