It *is* disabled by default - what does not prevent people from happily activating it, because some guy in a random forum told them "it's the best trick ever" - and then report crashes in driver that resolve by "after disabling unredirection, bug is gone" We basically (and actually for far too long) expose users to a feature, while knowing it will crash their WM more or less for sure. > It worked for me very well (Intel HD 3000). Since you mentioned DRI_PRIME, it will rather be some IGP-GPU briged system? > Also, without it I can't currently use DRI_PRIME. As far as i was told, DRI_PRIME does only work *with* redirection, ie. whenever you disable the compositor, the DRI_PRIME context paints nothing. If it does NOT work redirected for you, the better solution to suspend compositing altogether is not affected. Either (depending on redirection states) would probably a major bug in the prime handling, though. > Also, I prepared a patch that makes it less agressive The level of "aggression" is not relevant, esp. since you try to constrain it to the most problematic cases (override_redirect windows, assuming those are games, ie. likely will have a second GL context) - which overmore would largely benefit from simply turning the compositor off instead (frees memory, quits redirection/damage processing/conversion overhead) What currently missing to do this from scripts is to have scripts informed when unmanaged windows are added, eventually resized to/from "fullscreen". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/850628 Title: When the Euphoria (GL) Screensaver starts, KWIN crashes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/kdebase-workspace/+bug/850628/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
