    Hello,

    Fairly new to FreeBSD. Recently did a fresh install from 4.10 to 5.3,
    and noticed that when in X, things are a bit jerky, enough for me to
    notice at least. Anything scrolling jerks and SDL video programs are
    very jerky. Wondering what in particular should I look into to fix
    this?
    Also, when I previously was using 4.10, my computer made a heck of a
    lot of noise, which I blamed on a cheap powersupply. It was also very
    hot (which i also blamed on the powersupply)- I had to turn it off
    when I did not use it. When I ran X, there were dark vertical lines
    on the lcd which I assumed was due to it being old and cheap. All this
    changed however when I installed 5.3. The computer is completely quiet
    at all times and the graphics are sharper than ever, much much sharper
    than my xp computer. Anyways, I guess im wondering if there was
    anything I might have been doing insanely wrong, so that I can prevent
    that from happening in the future.
    I know this questions are very broad, but im too new to this game to
    make them more specific, hopefully someone can point me in the right
    direction.
    thanks
    Adrian
