Thanks for reporting.

I think there can be two kind of reasons behind this:

1. opengl related issue; Ade, our opengl expert, will contact you about=20
this. Evan could help with gentoo, it might be some gentoo+opengl=20
installation problem.

2. non-opengl related; a few things you could try:

- turn off visible grid (drawing the dots may be slow if your window is=20
large)

- turn on thin drawing mode (to see if the problem is related to polygon=20
rendering)

- please check how it works with software render (gdk); Note: with=20
pcb-rnd, you do not need to disable HIDs, you can let it detect and=20
compile all HIDs it finds, as you can select your hid runtime. (You can=20
even configure your HID preference: which HIDs should be tried in which=20
order if you didn't explicitly specify a HID to run).


Best regards,

Igor2
