[e-users] e18 - first impressions
Hi All, Thanks for e18 which I have now installed on my main gentoo desktop and can test it more thoroughly. I'm running it on a laptop with 1st generation i7 CPU and Radeon HD4670 with the open source radeon driver: product: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU Q 720 @ 1.60GHz product: RV730/M96-XT [Mobility Radeon HD 4670] COMPOSITING When I first started it up I noticed that it had switched composite to software, but switching it back to OpenGL had no problems and the windows became smoother and faster. I'm guessing this was a safe default on a first run, or is there more science into it? RESOURCE USAGE With kmail, gkrellm and a few gadgets running top shows: enlightenment %CPU=5.9 %MEM=2.4 while composing this message. The CPU jumps from 3.6% up to 7.6%, but switching between windows causes it to jump up to 14.5%. When playing video on say 1/4 of the screen top shows this: enlightenment %CPU=18.5 %MEM=2.4 mplayer %CPU=10.5 %MEM=0.6 The e18 %CPU goes up to 28% at times and no less than 17%, while mplayer is pretty much stable and won't go above 12%. Is this to be expected for my hardware, or should I be tweaking any settings? I'm thinking this can be a problem when running on battery. MODULES A question on modules: forecasts and tclock have depedencies on older 1.7.9 libraries and won't load. Are these going to be updated to be compatible with e18? SUSPEND This went really bad. It suspended seemingly OK, but when waking up it hang showing a black screen with a small mouse icon on it. The mouse was locked and so was the keyboard. After a few seconds the fan notched up a gear. With a locked keyboard I was unable to recover from this and I had to hard reboot - not nice. On a laptop this is a functionality that will certainly miss! Is this a known problem with e18 and how can I overcome it? Thanks again to all who have contributed to e18! :-) -- Regards, Mick -- Rapidly troubleshoot problems before they affect your business.

Re: [e-users] e18 - first impressions
Did you recompile forecasts after you built e18? It works here when I do that. Make sure you are using e18.2 for the suspend issue ton be resolved. Pretty sure there was something in the change log about that. ~Jeff Hoogland Bodhi Linux - http://www.bodhilinux.com/ On Dec 28, 2013 8:06 AM, "Mick" wrote: > Hi All, > > Thanks for e18 which I have now installed on my main gentoo desktop and can > test it more thoroughly. > > I'm running it on a laptop with 1st generation i7 CPU and Radeon HD4670 > with > the open source radeon driver: > > product: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU Q 720 @ 1.60GHz > > product: RV730/M96-XT [Mobility Radeon HD 4670] > > > COMPOSITING > > When I first started it up I noticed that it had switched composite to > software, but switching it back to OpenGL had no problems and the windows > became smoother and faster.

I will send a message to the maintainer. I was advised that the portage tree needs to play catch up before the modules are brought up to date. So, some time soon efl on the tree will be brought up to probably 1.8.4 and the modules' dependencies updated accordingly. -- Regards, Mick -- Rapidly troubleshoot problems before they affect your business.
