System slows to a crawl when compiz enabled!

hi,
I just installed Arch Linux for the first time. It's very fast otherwise, and i wanted to enable compiz effects.
However, when i enable compiz-fusion from the terminal, the system slows down like anything. Even a single mouse click takes 5-7 seconds to execute. Ultimately i have to logout somehow and login back again (without compiz)
I have an Intel GMA X3100 graphics card, GM965 in other terms. I am running another instance of Ubuntu, and the compiz effects work beautifully on a full HD external monitor. I'm testing out Arch on my laptop only, though, with a resolution of 1280x800.
The xorg.conf is attached below:

There are some tweaks i followed from the Arch wiki also. The driver installed is xf86-video-intel, the most recent driver.
Please help, i'm new to Arch, although i've been using Ubuntu for about 2 years now. I find Arch really lean and fast, and don't want to let go of if.:(
THanks.

Re: System slows to a crawl when compiz enabled!

Welcome to the forum, hdhiman!

Is there any related information in your errorlog/syslog/Xorglog ?

Re: System slows to a crawl when compiz enabled!

Did you try comparing your arch and ubuntu xorg.confs to see where they differ or try replacing the ubuntu conf with the arch conf? Ive never used an intel video card so this is as much help as I can offer

As for replacing with ubuntu xorg.conf, i tried doing that, the problems is, the ubuntu xorg.conf is not even half of this conf file.  Here's the ubuntu xorg.conf:

# xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.
#
# Note that some configuration settings that could be done previously
# in this file, now are automatically configured by the server and settings
# here are ignored.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command:
#   sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

Quite surprising, the difference between the two is humungous!

Re: System slows to a crawl when compiz enabled!

When KMS is not enabled on 2.6.30-ARCH and with the latest intel drivers, mesa and xserver from repo's, with compiz enabled you have to wait for 10sec for gnome-terminal to open and when u type a command in terminal a letter shows up 5sec late after u type it...
It's almost unusable. Switching to metacity brings back everything to normal. When compiz is enabled there are no cpu overloads or large memory consumptions of any kind...

On 2.6.31-rc9 however with KMS enabled in kernel everything works ok. Performance is sliced in half with the latest mesa 7.5.1 but it still works... With 2.6.31-rc7 and mesa 7.5 and xserver 1.6.3 everything worked perfectly, performance was good and there were no stuttering...

I belive that the latest mesa brought some performance regression. I think that patching things up for intel like:

# Fixed swapbuffers jerkiness in Doom3/etc in Intel drivers.
# Fixed front buffer rendering bug in Intel drivers.

introduced some nasty performance regressions...

Re: System slows to a crawl when compiz enabled!

Try to install xf86-video-intel-legacy and delete your xorg.conf, and wait until 2.6.31 passes to core in order to re-enable xf86-video-intel.

And see if with Mesa 7.6, you have the same problems.

Re: System slows to a crawl when compiz enabled!

I've already pulled all git snapshots (xf86-video-intel and xorg tree including mesa + xserver 1.7rc) and it performs the same as the ones from arch repo's. The only difference is between 2.6.30.5-ARCH with kms disabled (unusable desktop when compiz enabled) and 2.6.31-rc9 with kms enabled (worse performance compared to 2.6.31-rc7 and mesa 7.5.0 but still very usable desktop)

Re: System slows to a crawl when compiz enabled!

Tried using Intel legacy driver, becomes even worse. As soon as i press the compiz fusion icon, the screen displays wierd colors, and logs out.

Re: System slows to a crawl when compiz enabled!

Try more combinations:

Kernel26-git --> once with KMS enabled and once disabled
kernel26 stable --> once with KMS enabled and once disabled.

^ That means four reboots.

mesa-git (libgl-git, intel-dri-git ) --> use the PKGBUILD above. Follow my instructions.

^ that means restarting X only.

xf86-video-intel (legacy,stable,newest,git)

^ restart X each time and see which one is best.

I can't help you more, since I have an ATI card and (very fortunatelly) I have no problem regarding acceleration, since the driver uses the classic TTM manager and not GEM.

Re: System slows to a crawl when compiz enabled!

hdhiman, try to revert to mesa 7.5.0 I think that will fix your problem... Temporarily until they fix this...

Re: System slows to a crawl when compiz enabled!

Hi,
I'm somewhat new to pacman, so i tried doing this:

# pacman -S mesa-7.5.0

but it says package not found....
Any suggestions on how to do this??
Thanks.

Re: System slows to a crawl when compiz enabled!

Maybe for now you could just disable compiz (switch to metacity) untill the problem is resolved. If u want to run compiz anyway u could install mesa from pacman cache manually (pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/mesa-7.5-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz) but u have to satisfy deps also probably (pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/intel-dri-7.5-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz and pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/libgl-7.5-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz)

Pacman -S mesa will just reinstall mesa 7.5.1 IMHO...

Re: System slows to a crawl when compiz enabled!

Hi,
yes, using pacman -S only installs mesa 7.5.1,  i checked by typing pacman -Ss.
Well, i'll give it a try with mesa 7.5.0, i can always roll back to mesa 7.5.1.
Thanks.

Re: System slows to a crawl when compiz enabled!

Tried, but nope, the pacman cache does not have the intel-dri-7.5-2, or libgl-7.5-2, it only shows 7.5.1 versions of both, which means the newest versions. Same with mesa.

Re: System slows to a crawl when compiz enabled!

You installed arch recently and do not have this packages in cache... I don't know how to revert, try just disabling compiz

Re: System slows to a crawl when compiz enabled!

THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE FIXED!!
I installed Gnome-Do, and it told me that composting needs to be enabled to have the docky theme. In the arch-wiki, i found the entry for Intel Drivers:

http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Composite

I had a reboot, and voila! Compiz-Fusion started working! Gnome-Do's docky also works!!!
I hope all those who are facing problems can get this wonder cure!
THanks!

Re: System slows to a crawl when compiz enabled!

Somehow I don't think it's fixed ;-) Only thing that could be making all of this fuss is Sync to Vblank option enabled in ccsm (apart from bugs in mesa)

Well, no. I was trying to enable it, but the system used to become unusable.

Hmmm....if you say so...because i didn't change any of that setting. It must've been enabled by default. So in simple terms, what was (or is) wrong? I'm learning linux through all this, so it would be nice if someone would give a little explanation....:)

Re: System slows to a crawl when compiz enabled!

It would be nice to explain what you exactly did to make it work, added some values in xorg.conf or what? And what values if so...
