Bug#394349: on nvidia too

2007-07-04 Thread Bastian Venthur
Package: compiz
Version: 0.5.0.dfsg-1

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
I'm using compiz with a GeForce4 Ti 4800 SE and resizing windows is very
slow here too. The other effects work very smooth though.

Cheers,

Bastian

Probably related to the nvidia binary driver, we can't do much about that.

When resizing the window, Xorgs *CPU* utilization goes up to 100%. On my
box you can even hear the effect. I doubt this is an nvidia driver issue
but more likely to be a bug in the programming of the resize-window
routine in comiz.

That's quite unlikely, the bottleneck for window resizes is usually the
drivers or the hardware (or even the application, which has to redraw at
least parts of the window).

Hmm but without compiz resizing windows works pretty well.

There was the same problem on Radeon and Intel boards. It is now fixed
upstream by implementing some clever zero-copy AIGLX things in the
driver. So no, it's probably not a bug in compiz, but much more some
performance requirements in the driver and server core.
We had some reports about compiz working well on recent nVidia boards.
Maybe your board is too old and requires the legacy nvidia driver, which
might not provide the required optimization for fast resizing with AIGLX.

Sure, it's less complicated without a compositing manager.
