[unsolved] SLOW Scrolling with Compiz-Fusion on Intel

LTSmash · 2008-06-10 21:13:51

Hi there, i just installed Compiz-Fusion according to instructions on the wiki, however it won't run fine in many aspects:

a) Scrolling just slows KDE really bad, from konsole to firefox almost freeze the system while scrolling. it's just soooooo slow.

Hell I managed to fix some bugs, but the scrolling problem persists.

I've got an intel 845 video card, which has run Compiz-Fusion in an useable mode until now (at least that was in Ubuntu, back when I used it)...
I use fusion-icon to launch compiz...

Ideas?

Thank you so much.

PD: I changed the options removing sync to vblank and increased the refresh rate to 100, overriding also the autodetection of that rate also... all the options are correctly configured in xorg.conf

In the settings manager you might try to set General settings->Display settings->Texture filter to Fast. It made the difference for me when I was using Compiz.

Ah, forgot to say, I have already done that, but no luck...

For intel have you added this to your device section of your xorg.conf?

    Option      "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "true"
    Option      "EnablePageFlip" "true"
    Option      "RenderAccel" "true"
    Option      "AccelMethod" "XAA"

and this anywhere?

Section "Extensions"
    Option "Composite" "Enable"
EndSection

I think we need to add the modify to do at xorg.conf in the wiki, for each 3d card.

IS it fine like it is? Should I change something?

I just can't use compiz nicely as I did before

in my case, performance is fine with EXA (1500~1600 fps in glxgears) but mplayer performance in xv or gl is terrible

I've created this page some months ago: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Composite (I maintain the nvidia entries).

LTSmash · 2008-06-12 19:45:13

So no ideas?
What may be causing this?

Damnshock · 2008-06-12 21:33:23

Same problem here

Don't have much time to try, as I am on exams right now

Switching to Xaa acceleration fixed it ( it's not the way I wanna solve it though )

Option "AccelMethod" "XAA"
