[opensuse] Window Drag lags several inches behind cursor till reboot
For some time I've been using the latest Xorg builds repository on Opensuse in order to get the capability of using desktop effects on my older AMD Radeon laptop. This repository makes it possible to run with most of the bling turned on, something I had previously not been able to do with anything but the proprietary AMD drivers (which won't build anymore since the lase couple years). Anyway, after any software update that includes updates to Xorg, my system (OS 12.3, KDE 4.11.4 Radeon x1400 series) will lag severely when I drag a window with the mouse. Several inches behind the pointer! Pressing Ctrl-P to kill the bling cures this problem of course, by turning off desktop effects. I logout, restarting X, run zypper ps to make sure no updated modules are still running old versions. No processes are using deleted files. Yet, When I log back in again, I find the problem persists, and there is sever lag with the bling turned on. I have to shutdown (all the way to power off) and reboot to get the desktop effects to run smoothly. (Shades of Windows...) The problem will survive a restart. I have to power OFF. Totally OFF. Why is this necessary, and where is the proper place to file such a bug report? Is Xorg failing to initialize or utilize the GPU unless I power off? -- Explain again the part about rm -rf / -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Try GLES, kwin_gles --replace & or with a script: ~/.kde4/env/kwin.sh #! /bin/bash export KWIN_OPENGL_INTERFACE=egl export KDEWM=kwin_gles Needs exe bits set. And shall be effective after logout. Btw. new Xorg (rc4 of 1.15 release) hit the repo, so it shouldn't be strange that there are bumps there. Cheers, Hrvoje

But I'm happy with the performance of GLX, (when its operating correctly), why would I want to substitute something unproven, and, (by most reports) still full of bugs? My Xorg release is 11.499. Did you mean 11.5 when you said Xorg 1.15? -- Explain again the part about rm -rf / -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
