[Bug 1007857] Re: window animations are far from smooth
This seems fixed in Ubuntu 14.04 (Unity 7.2.1). I'm running a full-HD and quad-HD monitor from an ASUS Z97 Pro motherboard with an Intel core i5-4430 CPU. I'm using an nVidia GeForce 660TI GPU with the proprietary 337.25 beta driver. Everything is awesomely smooth and responsive. The only time things become jerky and stuttery again is when I open a video in Ubuntu's default video player (Totem?). If I use VLC, however, things remain ultra smooth and responsive. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1007857 Title: window animations are far from smooth To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/1007857/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Still not fixed on 13.04. Why have't the animations been disabled by default in the meanwhile? It's ridiculous to make the whole system unusable just for the sake of fancy cool animation that will perhaps work well one day. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1007857 Title: window animations are far from smooth To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/1007857/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1007857] Re: window animations are far from smooth
This is tremendously annoying because, besides being jerky, animations take a lot more time. This is not only an aesthetic problem, this is a huge usability problem. Switching between windows is a real pain in the ass. Until this is 100% fixed for all graphics cards, all animations should be reduced to a null animation, i.e. immediately going to the final position. Please this should be very easy to do and an update with this temporary fix could be made readily available in a matter of days if not hours, while the bug is fixed which will probably take ages. Please have mercy on us the poor users and spare us this gratuitous torture, which is cruel and unusual. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1007857 Title: window animations are far from smooth To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/1007857/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1007857] Re: window animations are far from smooth
I am now running Ubuntu 12.10 and am experiencing the same problem. I have a desktop PC with an FM1 motherboard and AMD A8 3850 APU. I have two graphics cards and swap between them - an nVidia GTX 460 and an AMD Radeon 7870. I have tried several drivers for both of these graphics card (on the nVidia side, everything from 285.xx onwards, and for the AMD Radeon everything Catalyst 12.8 to 12.11 beta). I have tried the following: 1. Unchecking Detect Refresh Ratge and setting the refresh rate manually (several values, including 60, 120 and 180). 2. Setting Force full screen refraws (buffer swap) on repaintg in workarounds. 3. Setting CLUTTER_PAINT=disable-clipped-redraws:disable-culling in /etc/environment. 4. Using edgers PPA and x-swat for latest/experimental packages. 5. Several other things I can't even remember now. Some of my observations (Ubuntu 12.10, wobbly windows enabled): 1. Yesterday, when the Google logo was a JavaScript game, dragging windows around was stuttery when FIrefox was opened and on the Google homepage. 2. Things are smoothest when running in 1920 x 1080. 3. When I turn up the resolution to 2560 x 1440, dragging wiindows around in the centre area of the screen is smooth, but if I drag a window close to the top of the screen or near the Unity Launcher, the movement will be stuttery (this doesn't happen in 1080p). 4. Problem (stuttering) is exacerbated when running two monitors. 5. SuperKey + S to show virtual desktops always jerky/stuttery. 6. SuperKey + W to show all windows always jerky/stuttery. Here's the kicker: on my laptop which has Intel HD 4000: 1. Just about everything works perfectly - the smoothest animations and window movement I've ever seen on Linux. 2. Dual monitors worked by simply plugging in an external monitor via mini DisplayPort. 3. Dragging windows still buttery smooth in dual monitor configuration (1080p and 1440p). 4. SuperKey + W to show all windows is buttery smooth at 2560 x 1440. 5. SuperKey + W to show all windows is jerky when running two monitors (one monitor at 1080p, the other at 1440p). 6. SuperKey + S to show all virtual desktops buttery smooth on single monitor running at 2560 x 1440 (1440p). 7. SuperKey + S to show all virtual desktops jerky/stuttery for dual monitors (1080p and 1440p). It seems strange that running Ubuntu 12.10 with my nVIdia 460 or Radeon 7870 on my desktop PC results in jerky/stuttering animations and window dragging, yet using my laptop with integrated Intel HD 4000 graphics everything is buttery smooth, pixel perfect and responsive (when using a single monitor). The difference in the end-user experience is truly like night and day. I wish I could somehow run Compiz with my laptop's nVidia 650m using optirun (Optimus) to see if animations/dragging windows was still smooth. If it was, then the nVidia proprietary drivers could be ruled out, and the culprit could be something to do with the AMD chipset (my desktop is an AMD A8, my laptop is an Intel core i7). Next pay cheque (in a couple of weeks) I will purchase an Intel motherboard and CPU for my desktop to see if that makes a difference. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1007857 Title: window animations are far from smooth To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/1007857/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I have tried to upload a video to demonstrate the problem. Unfortunately, I don't think my phone camera shoots as a high enough framerate. Anyway, it can be viewed here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9Q879m9J2k The first part of the video shows my desktop PC - the stutteriness is a lot worse than it looks in the video. The second part shows my laptop - everything works perfectly and is buttery smooth. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1007857 Title: window animations are far from smooth To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/1007857/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1007857] Re: window animations are far from smooth
All, There are many factors at play here, so please try to maintain your own bugs on the issue. Scott please log a new bug for yourself. I have seen that the intel driver is much smoother than nvidia or fglrx too. For nvidia, I think the current biggest factor is a driver problem where it is much slower when sync to vblank is enabled (in the nvidia- settings dialog, not just compiz). Regarding the issue of things being smooth near the middle of the screen but stuttering near the edge, that is an issue with things damaging the unity shell. When this happens, the unity shell has to force a fullscreen redraw which is slow. That is covered by bug 1080947. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1007857 Title: window animations are far from smooth To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/1007857/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
