Hi All,
Thanks for e18 which I have now installed on my main gentoo desktop and can
test it more thoroughly.
I'm running it on a laptop with 1st generation i7 CPU and Radeon HD4670 with
the open source radeon driver:
product: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU Q 720 @ 1.60GHz
product: RV730/M96-XT [Mobility Radeon HD 4670]
COMPOSITING
When I first started it up I noticed that it had switched composite to
software, but switching it back to OpenGL had no problems and the windows
became smoother and faster. I'm guessing this was a safe default on a first
run, or is there more science into it?
RESOURCE USAGE
With kmail, gkrellm and a few gadgets running top shows:
enlightenment %CPU=5.9 %MEM=2.4
while composing this message. The CPU jumps from 3.6% up to 7.6%, but
switching between windows causes it to jump up to 14.5%.
When playing video on say 1/4 of the screen top shows this:
enlightenment %CPU=18.5 %MEM=2.4
mplayer %CPU=10.5 %MEM=0.6
The e18 %CPU goes up to 28% at times and no less than 17%, while mplayer is
pretty much stable and won't go above 12%. Is this to be expected for my
hardware, or should I be tweaking any settings? I'm thinking this can be a
problem when running on battery.
MODULES
A question on modules: forecasts and tclock have depedencies on older 1.7.9
libraries and won't load. Are these going to be updated to be compatible with
e18?
SUSPEND
This went really bad. It suspended seemingly OK, but when waking up it hang
showing a black screen with a small mouse icon on it. The mouse was locked
and so was the keyboard. After a few seconds the fan notched up a gear. With
a locked keyboard I was unable to recover from this and I had to hard reboot -
not nice. On a laptop this is a functionality that will certainly miss! Is
this a known problem with e18 and how can I overcome it?
Thanks again to all who have contributed to e18! :-)

Mick
