I've recently installed the latest Debian, with X, (Debian
9.4
2018-06-17
4GB SD
LXQT) on a BeagleBone Black.
Clean installation, running off the SD card (not copied to the eMMC).
It's breathtakingly slow... Idling it reports a CPU load of 70-80%. Top reports lxqt-panel as taking up 16%, and the rest of X a further 8%. 48% is system (although I don't know what, exactly).
Is it just me? Previous versions where never like that...
It's pretty well unusable as it stands - any recommendations for alternate window managers etc?

It's the lxqt-panel.... kill that and everything's ok. Surely someone else has had the problem?

Hmmm.... it's not just lxqt panel. It seems to be everything that uses X - things get very slow updating the screen. XFCE is the same...
Could I be missing some kind of hardware acceleration? I have installed my own kernel (built to the standard config), but I seem to remember the stock one was the same.

I'm seeing the same.
A new guy in our group is running the example blinkeys and is finding the browser is loosing contact with Cloud9. Telnet/Ssh in does keep the link.
I think the slowness is described here.

Thanks Neil.
I can't follow the link unfortunately - I just get a page insisting that I sign up for a Google mail account!
Any chance you could copy/past the text here, if it's not too much?
