The performance seems pretty good with better responsiveness and it also "solves" another bug I filed some time ago about sluggish desktop interaction #388808. Unfortunately this setting breaks something because I can't see the themes preview anymore in system settings -> workspace themes. Furthermore this doesn't solve the kscreenlocker_greet cpu issue. I don't know if this is the right place, but I'm interested in knowing what difference there is between setting XRender compositor and setting Rendering backend = software. (In reply to Christoph Feck from comment #30) > You can force OpenGL 2.1 for intel 915+ by enabling ARB_occlusion_query and > ARB_fragment_shader in drirc. Well, I didn't expect I could do that. Now I'm using OpenGL 2.1, so plasma provides more effects and seems more responsive, except for certain localized areas (like the workspace theme section, that apparently has become slower). Unfortunately, the kscreenlocker_greet issue is still present, but now that I have a capable opengl 2 graphic chip, I'm appending new qdbus and gdb debug info when using OpenGL 2 compositor. ps. These were really useful tips anyway, I apreciate that. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
