OK but I'm not convinced. I commented out the "Use Events" like
this shown below then rebooted the BackEnd. I can't trigger the delay
even with these commented out. So I'm not convinced that the adding
the Option fixes the problem.
Part of my /etc/X11/xorg.conf-----
Section "Device"
Identifier "Generic Video Card"
Driver "nvidia"
Option "DPI" "100x100"
# Option "UseEvents" "True"
Option "AddARGBVisuals" "1"
Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "1"
Option "NoLogo" "1"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
BoardName "GeForce 8400 GS"
# Option "UseEvents" "True"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Device0"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
BoardName "GeForce 8400 GS"
# Option "UseEvents" "True"
EndSection
