The Solar Winds screensaver runs into a 1/8 of the screen, on the upper left corner of display 1... the rest is like white... What is with others? 3D (GL) screen savers all do this....on at least half a doz. boxen; all Intel or nVidia hardware.
Checked Bubles, Solar winds, Block tube and few more in test mode. It works fine here. Block tube in real timing (1 Min) works too. With or without KWin.
Built in Nvidia GeForce 6100.
I don't think the code is "solid" in a number of areas, and the screen saver is one of them.
I use "start with empty session" in Session management (Advanced tab). In case of configuration changes between releases, running settings from older version could be a problem. Besides, I use clean, KDE4 only, user account. It can make a difference.
And finally, changing form one virtual destop to another takes up to 2 seconds, while in KDE 3.5.9 it's intantaneous. Only if Compiz-like desktop effects are enabled. Otherwise it is fast. Yes......Compiz is NOT a good idea on 4.1.
KWin too. Just started it again, and it seems somewhat faster than yesterday. I got to check that again tomorrow.
'Not much choice, ya know. 'Either KWin or Compiz. ;)
I guess I can live with these glitches for a while... well, if I get fed up I can fall back to KDE 3.5.9 until there's a major improvement in 4.1, Like everybody else.
which is already a major step ahead itself... 'Sure would be nice if we could hide the panel, after SO MANY have complained about it since 4.0!
There is a lot of work ahead. They are focused now on adding application ports from KDE3, so some other areas can be slower.
Well, it's all important, but the interface needs to be done FIRST, IMHO, so it's not so much of a "little brother" of 3.5.9.
I'll check more tomorrow.
And, it looks like MANY, MANY days after that. :) Fred -- Linux is an old Latin word meaning, "I don't have to support your Windows anymore." -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
