--- Comment #2 from Miguel Angel Alvarez
This is not a decision, which depends on the driver. Composite and AIGLX is the default since xorg-server 1.4. Ok
causing great slowdown at X startup and when resizing windows.
Hmm. You're the first, who complained about that ... May be I'm the only beta tester with such hardware, or may be others simply disabled composite and remained silent...
Suggestion: aiglx and composite should be disabled by default, if not by the X server, by yast/sax2 on xorg.conf
This would make it hard for anyone else not familiar with X.Org to enable AIGLX. The situation we had on 10.3. Therefore I need to reject this. I suggest to disable it for you, since others don't seem to suffer from performance issues and everybody else is asking for having AIGLX.
By no means I have unusual hardware, it is a pretty common Radeon 9200SE (rv280 chipset, GeCube branding) on a Gigabyte motherboard (Athlon XP, nforce2 chipset). And I also tested it with a different computer with a onboard nvidia 6100 and it had the same issue. I'm with you about AIGLX, it is complex to enable, so let it enabled by default. I only asked about disabling AIGLX because it seems to introduce some inestabilities. But composite extension is another matter, window resizing slowdowns to 1-2 fps, and this is a known issue, see this thread http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=98277 By just disabling composite, the slow window resizing issue is gone. So, I ask you to please reconsider, and disable composite (adding 'option "composite" "false"' on xorg.conf by default), at least on radeon r200 based cards and may be some nvidia. This way, if someone wants to enable compositing effects, it is enough to comment out that line (which could be easily done by the compiz-manager script or yast/sax2). By leaving composite enabled, once 11.0 goes gold, quite a number of users will be affected (and of those few will be familiar enough with xorg to know what's wrong and how to fix it). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
