kwin_x11 problems after latest update
Hi there,
the latest update (done on 24/10 after no update for about 12 days) brought severe problems with the KDE desktop. In more detail, the latency when moving/clicking frames is tremedous with sometimes the whole desktop freezing (without any excessiv use of cpu or ram visible via top). I have removed the relevant plasma and kwin configuration files in ~/.config but nothing changed.
A remedy was to boot into KDE/openbox which left me with the clue that the problem must be within kwin.
Anybody having experienced a similar problem and any suggestion for a repair/work-around
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks

Graphics card I'd presume. In particular, if our hunches are going into the same direction, if you have xf86-video-intel you might want to try without it. Also which output is your card connected to? VGA, DP, HDMI?

Re: kwin_x11 problems after latest update
Hi,
I have a Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 operated via driver 370.28. Screen is connected via mini display port.
Finally had trouble using openbox/kde as well.
Currently everything seems to work after switching to kwin_x11/GDM instead of kwin_x11/SDDM.
Cheers
