Hmm, the switching problem is solved. But a second problem (which I hoped
would be fixed if I got the switching problem figured
out) still exists.
For a little more background, in order to get the nouveau driver to work with
my card I had to set "Option "NoAccel" 1 " in the
Devices section of my xorg.conf file....without this X would crash every time
(there is an open bugzilla about this that nobody
seems interested in working on). I used to start the OS with nouveau.noaccel=1
in the linux line but that has stopped working (yet
another bugzilla that nobody is working on that I can tell). And I solved my
switching problem by adding this to my xorg.conf:
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "off"
EndSection
So I can switch from workspace to workspace with no issue now. The other issue
I'm still seeing is when I move a window within the
workspace...instead of the window just moving to the new location that I drag
it to there is a noticeable delay in the repaint of
the window....if I set it so that the content of the window is not shown during
the move it's less noticeable but still obvious.
And occasionally the system doesn't recognize when I release the mouse button
during the move such that if I release the button but
continue to move the mouse the window still follows the mouse and ends up in a
place that I didn't intend.
So I'm getting closer and will continue to experiment. Any thoughts or
suggestions greatly appreciated.
Kevin
