Description Sebastian Barylski 2008-08-01 11:56:43 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:

My laptop is HP 530, video card is Intel 945 GM, 3D enabled.

Comment 1 Federico Mena Quintero 2008-08-01 16:40:09 UTC
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...
Comment 2 Stefan Dirsch 2008-08-02 02:27:33 UTC
Use 'Option "AccelMethod" "XAA"' as workaround for now.
