Dear TeXmacs users:

I am a novice to TeXmacs. Recently I installed TeXmacs on OS X, but it seems often crash and not stable. Is there any way to keep TeXmacs stable?
Another question is that I want to ask about the manipulation of TeXmacs. TeXmacs is often slow in math mode(the mode by start “$”) and command mode(the mode by start “\”). I’ve looked the frequent asked question, but I can only find this:

Question 12.  <>TeXmacs is unusually slow while editing?


Answer. Graphics card drivers with poor 2D performance can slow TeXmacs down termendously. 

If you are running TeXmacs under X on a system with an ATI graphics card and are using ATI's proprietary drivers (the driver called fglrx), you can achieve a significant speedup by 

either running an X server such as Xgl that performs 2D operations using the 3D API of the graphics card driver,
or switching to an open source graphics card driver such as ati or radeon which have a far better 2D performance than fglrx.
Note that if you try both at the same time, you will slow your system down even more, instead of speeding it up.


Could anybody tell me what is X server, or how could I switch to another graphics card driver under OS X?

Thank you!

Sincerely,

Shelby Hui-Jun Chen
