Description James Willcox 2008-05-15 13:32:16 UTC
I'm using latest factory on a T60p.  It's actually using AIGLX, not Xgl as the component suggests.  Resizing a window is unusably slow here -- but it's ok on my nvidia machine.  I am using the latest fglrx from ATI's site.

This looks like another duplicate of Bug #387168.

I don't see how there is any possible way that this bug is a duplicate of bug 387168.  That bug deals with the decorator not working -- this has nothing to do with that...
Comment 3 James Willcox 2008-05-19 17:29:52 UTC
Also, I've installed the updated xorg-x11 package from X11:XOrg repository.  It did indeed fix the decorator issue, but as I suspected it did nothing for this bug.

Ok. Thanks for verifying.

Use ccsm > Resize Window > Default Resize Mode > Rectangle or outline.

Does it fix the issue?

It is known that resizing is slow when using composite effects here are the discussions about the topic:

Yeah, I've been using that option.  The actual resize is still really slow (couple seconds).  I see the same kind of slowness when windows get mapped as well.

This is a driver issue. We don't track proprietary driver bugs filed against openSUSE. Please contact ATI instead. Thanks.
