[Bug 343360] New: Add checkbox to graphics-settings to enable/ disable composite
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=343360 Summary: Add checkbox to graphics-settings to enable/disable composite Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: SaX2 AssignedTo: ms@novell.com ReportedBy: sven.burmeister@gmx.net QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Since effects have become common there should be a way to enable/disable composite without having to edit the xorg.conf. Maybe one could combine the checkbox for 3D-accell with composite. -- 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.

If there is a problem with composite the server even didn't start so it doesn't make sense to have a switch in the GUI because you will not get to that point :) - According to this I will not add such a switch in the sax2 GUI - I will enable composite in our configuration if I get the ok from the Xorg maintainer -- 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.

The same applies to EXA and AIGLX.

How does the user then disable it, if one does not want to use it? The point that it would not make sense to have it in the GUI because the GUI would not start if composite fails it not valid. Just compare the current scenario and what would change if the checkbox was available. Current: User edits xorg.conf to enable composite -> it fails: user edits xorg.conf again. With checkbox: User enables composite in GUI -> it fails: user edits xorg.conf. So there is absolutely no change at all in case composite fails but a huge improvement if it works. -- 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.

If I understood correctly composite would then be enabled automatically for certain drivers. Yes. nvidia and intel are candidates for this. The only ones.
How does the user then disable it, if one does not want to use it? Why don't you want to have it enabled, if the driver is running stable with it? The experienced user still can edit his xorg.conf.

Which is why I would want to disable it for this computer. Why would I want to disable 3D if it works? Yet there is a checkbox in sax2. -- 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.

So the 3D Button (IIRC still disabled by default, not sure though) was more like pointing out, that we're not willing to support this scenario. If "3D" and "3D desktop effects" are possible with the driver (considered as stable) both should be enabled by default IMO. Enabling/disabling "3D desktop effects" should be a user configuration in the desktops (KDE/Gnome) IMO. -- 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.
