Rep:
slack12: X sluggish from composite extension?
I just upgraded to slack12. No problems noted, though I'm still merging some configs and init script stuff.
my setup:
slack12 - upgrade from 11.0
linux 2.6.22 (my own compile)
dell d820 (laptop)
intel core duo @ 2.0 GHz
1GB RAM
ICH7 (SATA)
intel i945GM chipset
intel HD audio
my WM of choice: XFCE
One complaint/question/problem I have not figured out: if I enable the X composite extension X seems to really hog the resources, 'top' will report as much as 90% CPU usage (which I think is only on of the cores) and conky shows up to 50% total when doing simple things like resizing windows and flipping workspaces.
if I turn off the composite extension ( no transparency
) I have no problems, and X never uses more than 1% (as reported by 'top' )

i have played with a bunch of driver settings (man intel, man xorg.conf) haven't found much about composite extension. increasing videoram doesn't help.
glxinfo shows DRI is enabled with or without composite enabled. but fps from glxgears drops 20-30% with composite enabled.
also (w/composite enabled) glxgears outputs and error:
Code:
libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x65
anyone have any tips?
