Re: Slow 2d performance in X / opera / nvidia drivers
Don't see any XOrg log file, you forgot to attatch it? And what is Xinerama, i thought it was a window manager like KDE or gnome...? Try loading from the open-source driver, or generic vga or vesa, will that improve preformance? You said problems started to occur with Opera 8 and later, did you try using opera 7.x or 6.x? it those work alright I think opera support would be the best place to be On 12/01/06, Josh Paetzel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Thursday 12 January 2006 04:25 am, Joseph Kerian wrote: > > On 1/11/06, Martin Tournoy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > On 10/01/06, Josh Paetzel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > *many helpful attachments snipped* > > > > > > I've been having terrible 2d performance with opera > > > > (linux-opera and native 8.51 and 9.0) using the nvidia drivers. > > > > When I windowshade it and then restore it there is a sizeable > > > > delay while it redraws the window.

Xorg is loading Xinerama and I've found some noise via google that there is a 'nvidia-xinerama' that is faster than the native 'xorg-xinerama'. I've tried disabling xinerama in my Xorg conf file but it loads anyways.

I have had a bit of shared library wierdness, but Opera simply refused to run until I fixed that.

Which window manager do you use, I noted that KDE can be really, really slow even on newer machines (Krap Desktop Enviorment) Is this problem ONLY with opera? or with other applications to? if you have another QT application you might want try how that runs. Also check you QT version, maybe it's ancient? Did you try using both the static/shared QT versions? If not, it might make a diffrence.

Slow 2d performance in X / opera / nvidia drivers

When I windowshade it and then restore it there is a sizeable delay while it redraws the window. If I rapidly shade and restore the window my idle CPU time goes to 0% and mp3 playback will occassionally skip. The problem first started when Opera 8 was released, I hoped that further releases would address it but so far that has not been the case. Any suggestions for a fix welcome.
