I'm using the proprietary nvidia graphics driver because with `nouveau', `direct rendering' was reported as `No' - it was obviously not on when moving screens. I notice when I enable `desktop effects' and I return to the KDE `Personal Settings > Desktop Effects' window, my screen freezes. ssh'ing from a different computer, I see `Xorg' spike to 100% CPU along with `kwin' I'm not sure if that's expected behavior. Unfortunately, while `desktop effects' are enabled, I see situations where Xorg goes to 100%, the system seizes for five to ten seconds, then execution returns. For example, I click on `Application Launcher Menu' and Xorg pegs the CPU. Unfortunately, it doesn't happen all the time otherwise I'd report a separate bug. :\ ... so I'll just mention it. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Personal Settings > Desktop > Desktop Effects: check `Enable desktop effects' and apply the changes. 2. Exit `Personal Settings' and re-enter. 3. Note windows seizes upon `Desktop > Desktop Effects' Actual Results: `Xorg' and `kwin' usurp the CPU, 100% each so my duo core laptop is frozen for five to ten seconds. Expected Results: Snappy response! :) -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
