Package: evolution Version: 2.22.2-1.1 Severity: normal The screen drawing of the Evolution Calendar view is extremely slow. It is slowest in day view (with 1 or more days shown side by side). The drawing in week, month and list view is faster, but still quite slow.
Moving an appointment from one day to another or within one day is nearly impossible because the screen is only updated every few seconds. Sliding another window on top of the Evolution window causes a very long trace of the old window positions which stays there for up to 1 minute. During all this drawing the CPU usage is at 100% and interestingly most of this is the Xorg process. All other processes' responsiveness as reduced dramatically. I'm using an Intel Pentium M 1.86 GHz CPU in an ASUS M6V laptop. It has an ATI Radeon Mobility X600 graphics chip. I'm using the Radeon driver, because the proprietary ATI driver doesn't support dual screen well enough. On another PC I'm using the very same Debian installation but with an NVidia graphics cards. It doesn't have any drawing speed issues. So I guess the problem is that the drawing is done too elaborate, which doesn't attract attention on fast graphics cards with fast drivers. Using slower drivers the problem gets apparent. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing-proposed-updates APT policy: (500, 'testing-proposed-updates'), (500, 'proposed-updates'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22 (PREEMPT) Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages evolution depends on: ii dbus 1.2.1-2 simple interprocess messaging syst ii evolution-common 2.22.2-1.1 architecture independent files for ii evolution-data-server 2.22.2-1 evolution database backend server ii gconf2 2.22.0-1 GNOME configuration database syste ii gnome-icon-theme 2.22.0-1 GNOME Desktop icon theme ii gtkhtml3.14 3.18.2-1 HTML rendering/editing library - b ii libart-2.0-2 2.3.20-2 Library of functions for 2D graphi ii libatk1.0-0 1.22.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libbonobo2-0 2.22.0-1 Bonobo CORBA interfaces library ii libbonoboui2-0 2.22.0-1 The Bonobo UI library ii libc6 2.7-12 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.6.4-6 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libcamel1.2-11 2.22.2-1 The Evolution MIME message handlin ii libdbus-1-3 1.2.1-2 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.76-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libebook1.2-9 2.22.2-1 Client library for evolution addre ii libecal1.2-7 2.22.2-1 Client library for evolution calen ii libedataserver1.2-9 2.22.2-1 Utility library for evolution data ii libedataserverui1.2-8 2.22.2-1 GUI utility library for evolution ii libegroupwise1.2-13 2.22.2-1 Client library for accessing group ii libexchange-storage1.2 2.22.2-1 Client library for accessing Excha ii libfontconfig1 2.6.0-1 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.3.5-1+b1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgconf2-4 2.22.0-1 GNOME configuration database syste ii libglade2-0 1:2.6.2-1 library to load .glade files at ru ii libglib2.0-0 2.16.3-2 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnome-pilot2 2.0.15-2.4 Support libraries for gnome-pilot ii libgnome2-0 2.22.0-1 The GNOME 2 library - runtime file ii libgnomecanvas2-0 2.20.1.1-1 A powerful object-oriented display ii libgnomeui-0 2.22.1-1 The GNOME 2 libraries (User Interf ii libgnomevfs2-0 1:2.22.0-3 GNOME Virtual File System (runtime ii libgtk2.0-0 2.12.10-2 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libgtkhtml3.14-19 3.18.2-1 HTML rendering/editing library - r ii libhal1 0.5.11-1 Hardware Abstraction Layer - share ii libice6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libldap-2.4-2 2.4.7-6.2 OpenLDAP libraries ii libnm-glib0 0.6.6-1 network management framework (GLib ii libnotify1 [libnotify1 0.4.4-3 sends desktop notifications to a n ii libnspr4-0d 4.7.1-1 NetScape Portable Runtime Library ii libnss3-1d 3.12.0~rc3-1 Network Security Service libraries ii liborbit2 1:2.14.13-0.1 libraries for ORBit2 - a CORBA ORB ii libpango1.0-0 1.20.2-2 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpisock9 0.12.3-4+b1 library for communicating with a P ii libpisync1 0.12.3-4+b1 synchronization library for PalmOS ii libpixman-1-0 0.10.0-2 pixel-manipulation library for X a ii libpng12-0 1.2.27-1 PNG library - runtime ii libpopt0 1.14-3 lib for parsing cmdline parameters ii libsm6 2:1.0.3-2 X11 Session Management library ii libsoup2.4-1 2.4.1-1 an HTTP library implementation in ii libx11-6 2:1.1.4-2 X11 client-side library ii libxcursor1 1:1.1.9-1 X cursor management library ii libxext6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxfixes3 1:4.0.3-2 X11 miscellaneous 'fixes' extensio ii libxi6 2:1.1.3-1 X11 Input extension library ii libxinerama1 2:1.0.3-2 X11 Xinerama extension library ii libxml2 2.6.32.dfsg-2 GNOME XML library ii libxrandr2 2:1.2.2-2 X11 RandR extension library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.4-2 X Rendering Extension client libra ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-12 compression library - runtime Versions of packages evolution recommends: pn bogofilter | spamassassin <none> (no description available) ii evolution-plugins 2.22.2-1.1 standard plugins for Evolution ii evolution-webcal 2.21.92-1 webcal: URL handler for GNOME and ii gnome-desktop-data 2.22.2-1 Common files for GNOME 2 desktop a pn gnome-pilot-conduits <none> (no description available) ii yelp 2.22.1-3 Help browser for GNOME 2 -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
