I have tested with a Radeon X1950 Pro. This one use the open source driver as it is no longer supported by fglrx. I couldn't notice performance issue with the blur in the dash.
What we are lacking is a tool that would check the performance of the graphics effects used in Unity. Such a tool is planned but not yet ready. For now, if you have system that is showing performance issue in the dash, I recommend you turn off "Active Blur" in CCSM or you limit to "Static Blur" or "No Blur". ** Changed in: unity Status: Confirmed => Incomplete ** Changed in: unity (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/841527 Title: Dash very slow with blur in Oneiric beta1[ATI report] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/841527/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
