xterm is sadly very slow (you see line by line re-draw in midnight commander and things like that) on glamor/GPU accelerated Xorg server on all my ARM devices.

xterm is sadly very slow (you see line by line re-draw in midnight commander and things like that) on glamor/GPU accelerated Xorg server on all my ARM devices. I switched to st (https://st.suckless.org/ https://st.suckless.org/) on my ARM devices, and while it has less features, it doesn't have this performance issue.
I never figured why that is, other than it not being a CPU issue.
- mixmastamyk 6y agoI believe it is not buffering draws, although have never checked the source. Edit: I found this at the arch wiki: Troubleshooting - Flickering on scroll Warning: Double buffering may cause non-bitmap fonts to render incorrectly. Rebuild xterm using ABS and include the --enable-double-buffer flag: ./configure --prefix=/usr \ ... --with-utempter \ --enable-double-buffer Could be more friendly.
- megous 6y agoHmm, I confused xterm with urxvt.
