There is a problem with certain versions of the intel drivers where by attempting to sync to vblank causing the driver to 'stall' for a second or two. This stall appears to be fixed in newer intel drivers (at least those shipped with feisty) but I dont think it actually vblanks syncs. The workaround is to set CLUTTER_VBLANK=none.
Thanks for that, worked like a charm!

Hmm, I thought this buglet was fixed - what version of clutter are you running ?
I was using 0.2 which gave the error. I moved up to 0.3, but guessing there's been an API change as Opt now no longer compiles: opt-show.c:119: error: too few arguments to function 'clutter_texture_set_pixbuf' So unfortunately I can't say whether or not the original problem is fixed.

I guess we could set up a forum if enough people want it - I myself am not a big fan of those however (which is likely why its not been done as yet at least).
That archive is great! A link to that on the Clutter mainpage would help a heap for people just starting on Clutter. -- To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
