Re: [foxboro] slow X-windows update

We have faced similar problem before on a WP51D. On investigation we 
diagnosed that the metallic pins on the connectors of CAT5 cable were 
rusted. Changing the cable solved the problem.

You try changing the cable first, then switch. If this doesn't solve your 
problem then the problem seems to be  with your PC's motherboard.
