Please post inxi -F so we can see which graphics you have and problems with latest antiX and intel driver.
Also post /etc/X11/xorg.conf and any solutions/workarounds that have helped.

I am sure using intel 915 card , but it was very sluggish ( CPU 18 % with clean installation when idle , with iceweasel running 60% to 90%) , with vesa driver it was working ok (same xorg config just driver changed ) ,
I tried all the obvious solution that i could find from google but didn,t help , I have install Arch for now , I will intall antix in couple of days on other partition and give u the detail.

For intel card users, try installing libgl1-mesa-dri and see if CPU spiking goes down.

Hi Anti:
I followed your suggestion and installed that driver. It does improve the CPU and ram usage in my desktop running 8.5 livecd. However, the resolution problem still persists. In addition, now I have the same low resolution problem with installed 8.2 in that desktop. I tried changing the vga and xres boot options and they did not work. I also tried changing the resolution from control center (again in 8.2) and that did not work either.
Any suggestion on how to get 8.2 back to the previous display settings?
thanks
Pedro

Post your /etc/X11/xorg.conf Pedro. (You might find you have an old one backed up)

Hi, Pedro.
This topic at first was for people that have intel graphic cards. Interesting that your card benefitted too from that package.
To boot with the vesa driver you must add at the boot line.
So then you may have a usable desktop until you find out what's going on with your video (radeon) driver.
Also you could boot to level 3 and purge/reinstall xserver-xorg xserver-xorg-core
or even try dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg before that.

The screenshot shortcut didn't work because it's written 'antixcreenshot.sh' in ~/.fluxbox/keys and it must be 'antixscreenshot-en.sh'. The shortcut is Alt+S.
About your laptop keys, xorg changed and the keyboard is not set by xorg.conf anymore. It's set by /etc/default/keyboard. You can test keymaps with the command 'setxkbmap us -model MODEL' which sets the keymap on-the-fly and is lost at logout (more info with `man setxkbmap').
Some acer keyboard model options are: acer_c300 acer_ferrari4k acer_laptop acer_tm_800
The core directory on this subject is usr/share/X11/xkb/rules
Just to give you an idea in case you have to search this issue. Also, I think this stuff is somewhat in transition so the 'old style' configuration may work too.
