Jerky rendering with Awesome WM.

Hello there,

I've given a try to awesome and like it very much, except that the rendering is slow, or sluggish, or jerky, or whatever: simply not smooth. It shows up when I'm typing, but it's especially annoying when watching a video.

Reverting to the default rc.lua file doesn't solve the problem. For the moment, I run awesome inside Xfce, but running it on its own doesn't make it any faster. I've tried other WM, they all render well. From what I've read here and there (mostly old posts), it might be a driver issue, but then I'm lost. As far as I know, I'm using the Nouveau driver, since xf86-video-nouveau is installed.

Any idea?

Best,
Paul
