Do you know this proverb "the best way to find something is to look for
another thing"? :-) Today it happened.
I wanted to enable composition, so I added to /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "enable"
EndSection
and
Option "AccelMethod" "XAA"
Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "true"
Compiz did not work, but the KDE translucencies did work.
Finally, I deactivated the composition effect in KDE because switching from
one desktop to another one was taking at least 5 seconds (is it normal with
this old card, or shall I submit another bug?).
After deactivating the composition effects, I saw many improvements, though
(the days before I was working without composition as well), so I think they
just came from the modifications I made to /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
* I was allowed to select in KDE the refresh rate of 75 Hz.
* Working with KDE was faster in general.
* The problem this bug is about was fixed.
Note, however, that this bug used not to exist *without enabling composition
in /etc/X11/xorg.conf *, so I do not know if the bug can be closed yet. At
least, you should configure the package to do these modifications to
/etc/X11/xorg.conf before closing the bug.
Please, answer as well whether taking so long for switching from one desktop
to another in KDE with composition enabled is a bug or is normal for this
card.
Thank you,
