Window Scrolling Dramatic Slow Down - Desktop Effects Enabled
Last modified: 2008-08-02 02:27:33 UTC
When I enable Desktop Effects in Gnome I experience annoying slow-down of window scrolling (e.g. a web page or OpenOffice document). The only way to get rid of the issue I found is to disable Desktop Effects. Here you can find a recording of the issue: http:http://www.gorzkiepole.pl/video/recording.mp4 or //www.gorzkiepole.pl/video/recording.avi My laptop is HP 530, video card is Intel 945 GM, 3D enabled. # uname -a Linux portatilgris 2.6.25.11-0.1-pae #1 SMP 2008-07-13 20:48:28 +0200 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux My xorg.conf: ------------- Section "ServerFlags" Option "AIGLX" "on" Option "AllowMouseOpenFail" "on" Option "ZapWarning" "on" EndSection Section "Module" Load "extmod" Load "type1" Load "glx" Load "freetype" Load "dbe" Load "dri" EndSection Section "Monitor" DisplaySize 331 207 HorizSync 30-62 Identifier "Monitor[0]" ModelName "LGPHILIPSLCD LCD MONITOR" Option "DPMS" Option "PreferredMode" "1280x800" VendorName "LPL" VertRefresh 43-60 UseModes "Modes[0]" EndSection Section "Modes" Identifier "Modes[0]" EndSection Section "Screen" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Depth 15 Modes "1280x800" "1280x768" "1280x720" "1024x768" "1280x600" "1024x600" "800x600" "768x576" "640x480" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "1280x800" "1280x768" "1280x720" "1024x768" "1280x600" "1024x600" "800x600" "768x576" "640x480" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1280x800" "1280x768" "1280x720" "1024x768" "1280x600" "1024x600" "800x600" "768x576" "640x480" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 8 Modes "1280x800" "1280x768" "1280x720" "1024x768" "1280x600" "1024x600" "800x600" "768x576" "640x480" EndSubSection Device "Device[0]" Identifier "Screen[0]" Monitor "Monitor[0]" EndSection Section "Device" BoardName "945 GM" BusID "0:2:0" Driver "intel" Identifier "Device[0]" Option "monitor-LVDS" "Monitor[0]" Screen 0 VendorName "Intel" EndSection Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Layout[all]" InputDevice "Keyboard[0]" "CoreKeyboard" InputDevice "Mouse[1]" "CorePointer" Option "Clone" "off" Option "Xinerama" "off" Screen "Screen[0]" EndSection Section "DRI" Group "video" Mode 0660 EndSection Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "on" EndSection
Reassigning to Dave for the Compiz part. Dave, is this a general problem with Compiz, or is it a performance problem on the Intel driver? We should allocate some time for X performance problems anyway...
Use 'Option "AccelMethod" "XAA"' as workaround for now. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 411183 ***
