If cloning the accelerant failed that would be perfectly acceptable I'd 
think, because CanControlFrameBuffer sits in BWindowScreen: which is 
unusable then.
So, the app_server drawing fault remains. After that, I wouldn't be 
surprised if BWindowScreen is (nearly) OK..

You bet you! :)
I just checked background CPU usage of dano and Haiku, these are more 
or less the same (low), although Haiku is a bit higher. This in any 
case wasn't the reason either.

Another thing, maybe you know by heart: some apps exist that use the 
PCI busmanager from userspace. Haiku fails these apps (BeRoMeter 
tested). Intended behaviour? I know on R5 and Dano you get a warning 
when compiling saying that get_nth_xxx isn't declared, but it's just a 
warning an the app runs after that OK. Seems like on Haiku this doesn't 
work however.

OK, I'll now do a checkout and rebuild of Haiku on the laptop (I was 
still working with a bit older (and tweaked for these tests) version, 
30 april or so). Will be a while before I check back in I guess :)

thanks for your prompt responses!!! At this rate I'll probably be able 
to run anything on Haiku very soon.. ;-)

Bye!

Rudolf.
