FYI I installed fedora 7 test2 in parallel with feisty. It has the same versions of metacity and xserver but it doesn't show this problem. But libX11 is still at version 1.0.3 in fedora while feisty has 1.1.1. Perhaps xcb is the problem? -- Sluggish rendering since xorg 7.2 update https://launch

Hi, After some troubleshooting I have identified the precise source of this sluggishness. When I downgraded xserver-xorg-core sluggishness persisted, so I experimented with downgrading other packages selectively, and found the problem to be with libx11-6 (1.1.1-1ubuntu1). After downgrading to vers

disturbedsaint, Thanks, let me address your points: 1. That's right, nvidia-glx is installed on my system and so the nv driver can't initialize GLX. 2. Ditto, see above. 3. This may be a symptom of the above too, so I don't know. In light of this, I'm running the benchmarks again, this time usin

A couple of things/differences I noted whilst reading through your logs: - The Xorg.0.log from Herd5 mentions it can't initialize the GLX extensions, since it is using the Nvidia libglx.so Might this be the cause? - In the Xorg.0.log from Herd5 AIGLX is disabled (since it can't load the GLX modul

Hi Sebastien, I've opened a bug there, but I focused more on performance profiling. I'll expand on it and explain the problem in detail (I had just linked to launchpad). Here it is: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10173 -- Sluggish rendering since xorg 7.2 update https://launchpad.

Hmm, I downgraded metacity, metacity and metacity-common to 2.16.3-0ubuntu2 from Edgy, but it's still slow. Perhaps there's certain rendering paths that are slow in xorg that metacity happens to use; all I know is that performance is excellent with kwin. Maybe I'll try some x11perf tests on my sys

Cyclops, It's still feasible that xorg is to blame, but it sounds like metacity could be stealing focus from your apps, or it could be an EXA rendering bug. Try changing back to XAA to see if it helps, and try kwin (or another WM besides metacity) to see if this behaviour continues with a differen

It's actually worse than that. Windows randomly stop being updated, focus is lost (also on run command dialog), etc... -- Sluggish rendering since xorg 7.2 update https://launchpad.net/bugs/88815 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinf

With the latest updates, things are snappy again. Quite snappy indeed. But the only problem is that I'm suddenly loosing input focus on gnome- terminal and xterm windows. Just as suddenly it comes back, at a random time... I don't think this has anything to do with metacity. -- Sluggish renderi

Timo, Upon further investigation I think I may have found the real culprit - metacity. As I had kdebase installed on my system, I decided to try "kwin --replace" within GNOME, and performance is back to normal! Maybe the problem is specific to metacity and not xorg at all (a reasonable hypothesis
