From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows 98; T312461) 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: ??? Additional info:
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?
Something must be wrong with you settings/hardware. I find metacity to be much better/faster. /Richard
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.
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. Andrej
Thanks, glad it was something simple. We can just move this bug over to X.
The G450 XaaNoScreenToScreenCopy is currently off by default in rawhide.
