I just wanted to add to my previous post, in case it makes any difference: - Right before the successful test I installed the toggle compositing plasma widget, and used it to toggle the effects (previously I did it directly in system settings)
- After a reboot, I did get the message that desktop effects have been suspended. However, after a couple of seconds if I click the toggle icon, the desktop effects are resumed and remain functional from this point on (previously it would always turn itself back off immediately no matter what I did) - Although the system is now fully usable and effects work ok, on a clean system after reboot with a single open konsole window running top/htop and nothing else going on anywhere, I see plasma-desktop, Xorg and kwin processes all taking up 6%-12% CPU all the time. Still sounds to me like way too much for an idle system, and bad for battery life... but at least the system is usable. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/774207 Title: [Natty Intel 945GME] No desktop effects (kwin 100% cpu) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/774207/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
