Description of problem:
For somebody used to sawfish moving windows is VERY slow. On an
AMD 2100+ running null/metacity it is way slower than Pentium III/300
running redhat 7.2/sawfish. When window is moved a white shadow is
slowly being changed to background color. Sometimes it even remains
until the pannel is switched.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Seems fine for me and most people. Are you using a remote X connection?
What apps are you moving the window over the top of? Is your X server
accelerated or just using the framebuffer driver?

Comment 2 Richard Torkar 2002-08-29 16:15:57 UTC
Something must be wrong with you settings/hardware.
I find metacity to be much better/faster.

Comment 3 Havoc Pennington 2002-08-29 16:23:19 UTC
There was just a mail on the list where someone had gotten 
XaaScreenToScreenCopy (or something like that) option disabled for their G450 
in XF86Config - this might cause massive slowness due to lack of accelerated 
window copying.

Comment 4 Andrej Vodopivec 2002-08-30 08:11:41 UTC
Thank you, this solved my problem. I had a XaaNoScreenToScreenCopy
set in my XF86Config. As I did not mess with X att all I consider this
a bug in installation. Is hp going to file a bug report or should
I do it.

Thanks, glad it was something simple. We can just move this bug over to X.

Comment 6 Mike A. Harris 2002-09-01 06:00:46 UTC
The G450 XaaNoScreenToScreenCopy is currently off by default in
rawhide.
