I would not have even reported the "snowing" effect, except that I think everybody can notice it on nearly any system, as opposed to the trouble I am experiencing with my own animations. I'm believe both are symptomatic of the same underlying problems.
And yes, once a "snowing" window (for any normal application) is completely open, after launch, everything works well, thereafter. One thing I didn't point out before (because I thought this might be impacted by the Graphics Card driver a particular system); on one system, I had to disable the 3D effects in order to see any of the menus or other GUI widgets in Mozilla Thunderbird. Collapsing the left-hand tree view and re-expanding it would "jog" the screen to update, but the next action somewhere else would make it disappear again. I had to disable 3D to use Thunderbird at all - but only on that one system with a high-end graphics card. The REAL problem is with real-time graphics (and not necessarily video). I use the Java Swing APIs to draw imagery that needs to follow mouse movements in real-time (updating constantly). That works in earlier releases of Ubuntu (and other distros) but shows a propensity to lag far behind the mouse in Ubuntu 8.10 (and the similarly timed openSUSE 11.1). The demands of my apps just make it more obvious. The new X.org is probably slower or inefficient somewhere AND not working as well with some binary graphics drivers, either. -- Ubuntu 8.10 has a very slow / sluggish graphics stack. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/322561 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
