Certainly it's just happened again and ProjectM (for > instance) runs in full-screen no problem The weird jumping around of taskbuttons has afair been reported to the bugtracker (bugs.kde.org) / plasma category - this has nothing to do with any visual stuff. iirc it happens w/o compositing as well and the buttons are actually where you can see them.

By default, unmapped windows (minimized ones) are not re-rendered, but the last know texture stays and it stays as texture (resp. Picture on Xrender backend) - whether in VRAM or RAM is up to the driver. Usually the data won't be mapped unless really necessary. > This is why it seemed quite odd or like things where leaking, also because > 1600x1200x4Bytes for RGBA = about 7Mb and I've got 512Mb ram on the GPU > side of things, See these bug reports https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=261069 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=260248 esp. the 260 series seems to cause /real/ trouble (on some GPUs - works fine here so far), maybe try to downgrade (if this didn't happen before) Also consider testing whether the XRender backend shows better performance. Cheers, Thomas Ps: you tend to drop from one issue to the next, what makes your mails... "long", try to separate your issues and report them to the proper destination, ie. a) using the bugtracker b) assigning to the affected "product" this will get you more informed reply and maybe deeper insight into the problem through the reports of others. >> Visit http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel#unsub to unsubscribe <<
