Hi list, the slowness of AIGLX was due to the fact that i was running xorg-server without enabling the aiglx flag. After having enabled it xorg started running with AIGLX (using compiz or beryl). Although the system is quite usable there is still an issue: i thought the system would have relied completely on video card acceleration. However whenever i run an AIGLX effect such as the cube or just window moving the CPU goes up to 80-90% during all the time the effect is running. This behaviour makes the system A LOT less responsive than it is without AIGLX. Is this a known issue?
Thanks a lot, MC -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
