KDE Fullscreen

Hi.

I'm having some problems with KDE and fullscreen apps. For example, while switching a flash movie to fullscreen it gets really slow.

Everything started today. I was playing Pro Evolution Soccer 2010 (L) on Wine, and suddenly (I didn't do anything weird) it started to slowdown. This happened during the game, not in the menu screen.

I restarted the game, and this time the game started slow (not the menu) but after quitting the game the menu screen was also slow.

Now everytime I start the game EVERYTHING is slow from the beginning, both the menu screen and the game itself.

I tried another games (Devil May Cry 4 is now a PAIN) and same result.

After this, fullscreen flash is also slow.

This doesn't happen on another desktop environments such as OpenBox. Neither happens if I disable the kwin effects before playing.

But I don't know what happened... I used to play games on fullscreen with Kwin effects on and they used to work very well. I didn't change any configuration, no -Syu, nothing at all. It just... happened.

Thanks to all.

Re: KDE Fullscreen

I really recommend you to use compiz instead of KWin or just disable Desktop Effects

KWin really tends to be slow with the time with 3D Effects Enabled

Re: KDE Fullscreen

Just like the way it came, it went away: by doing nothing at all.

Fixed... =/
