As from then, everything related with Xwindows has become extremely slow.
Before that, as from tdm to everything within the TDE display/desktop

So, something, while upgrading, changed the settings.
Is this an issue that can be modified or does the system set the settings so
by itself ?

Usually it's selfconfigured, but you could check if /etc/X11/xorg.conf or
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d exist. If yes, it might be a good idea to delete these and try again.
If they don't exist, you'll have to ask the searchengine of your trust (sorry,
don't have any ATI GPU here)

AMD discontinued support for older cards and firmware might not work is what
I know. I experienced this on one ubuntu, but might be something else -
worth checking.

Hello,
No, the files don't xist.
And as far as the ATI support is concerned, i understand that the problem
would be with a kernel module ?
By now, i use to start with kernel 5.4
but still have the possibility, via grub, to start with kernel 4.19.
Doing so makes absolutely no difference as far as the slowness is concerned.

IMO it's not a kernel probblem, but an Xorg problem. You can try to deinstall Xorg and
reinstall the previouse version. If it works, set it on hold.

New subject: [trinity-users] Re: updated/upgraded last week
Hello,
The situation is as follows :
Seeing it as more a global debian tread than a TDE one, i went to the
debian-facile.org forums where a couple of suggestions were made to me.
The first one regarded the /var/log/Xorg.o.log file where it was pointed that
the acceleration and enhancement of my graphic card were not enabled.
I installed the amd firmware.
Then, as root, the desktop worked with no slowlyness problem, videos worked
normally and synchronized with the sound (yet before, they worked better than
as user).
When logging out, there is no problem, it falls back to the tdm desktop
manager.
I can also stop or reboot the PC from tboth he desktop and TDM.
Not so as user.
User remains slower, slow starting kmail (not used under root), slow starting
firefox, extremely slow starting and playing any video and with the sound
totally unsynchonized.
I eliminated the autogenerated hidden files and directories that don't change
the desktop configuration, like DCOP, aso, .... to have them regenrated from
scratch : no change.
If i try to logout as user, i get the mouse pointer on a black screen and it
remains undefinidetly.
To go back to the TDM desktop manager, i have first to go to another console
(Alt+Ctrl+Fx), log in as root and command killall Xorg
Then i fall back to the TDM manager.
But if i try to stop the computer from there i have to end up with a hard
shutdown.
What i can do is, from TDM, go back to the root desktop but i cannot reboot or
shutdown the PC but a hard way.
So, i come back to You since it might be a Xorg/TDE problem that affect the
users.
My /home and /root are individual partitions.

Yes, the "groups" command issued as user from bash shows user belongs to the

I don't know if there can be a conflict between the updating/upgrading when
including the backporting for debian itself and the TDE updating/upgrading.

Under debian buster, i updated and upgraded last week,
meanothers TDE.
As from then, everything related with Xwindows has
become extremely slow.
Before that, as from tdm to everything within the TDE
display/desktop
screen/environment worked perfectly.
video is AT RV370 X300 / X300SE
My experience with X300 is it's marginally useful with screens larger than
1680x1050. I notice considerable difference between 1680x1050 and 1920x1200.
On Buster, speed doesn't seem to be any issue, but screen tearing is, at
least, it is on a 1920x1200 screen.
Last I checked, there were many old ATI cards newer and with more RAM than
an X300 in the $20 & under price class. It might be a good move for you to
take if possible.
Normally I don't use an X300, but for purposes of this thread, I pulled an
HD8570 temporarily in order to see how an X300 would work in Buster/TDE.
