 |
|
I have GeForce G210 on SyncMaster p2370HD (1920x1080) and I use compiz. Everything works OK, however the first thing (anything) I do in compiz, first action is "slow" and not smooth (e.g. resize of window or workspace change (cube), but after that the same action is smooth.
Any ideas why?
Kind regards,
Rok |

Perhaps uncommenting that option (to make it active) might help. Not sure... |

Can you post the output of:
| Code: | | eselect opengl list |
please?
And also make sure that the nvidia driver is used, reïnstall if possible. |

nvidia-drivers will always complain about dri/dri2 as it uses its own internal version.

Then that means the threadstarter is just experiencing a driver bug  |

This is part of my xorg.conf
| Code: | Section "Module"
Disable "dri"
Disable "dri2"
Disable "record"
EndSection
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "Xinerama" "false"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Device0"
Driver "nvidia"
Option "NoLogo" "true"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Device0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
Option "TwinView" "false"
Option "RenderAccel" "true"
Option "Backingstore" "true"
Option "TwinViewXineramaInfoOrder" "CRT-0"
EndSection |
You show 2 device sections and you should only have one.
change your module and screen sections to match mine and see what happens.

Or problems with xorg's configuration.

2 device sections are because I use two monitors sometimes, but now only one is used... I use nvidia-settings which configures xorg.conf for two monitors, but I think it is not that important for compiz to behave in such way.
I tried your configuration and "problem" is still there.
It is strange... like card is trying to "load every action" for the first time... but after that everything goes smooth. But since I switch between actions (workspace switch, alt+tab, it is annoying). |

I have a Nvidia Quadro NVS 140M, and had exactly the same problem as you. Compiz works very smooth, but after a short while of no "compiz use", it is very slow and laggy with the first action, then it becomes smooth again.
I figured out a way to fix it in my case. I use Ubuntu, not Gentoo, so it might be that the solution is different for you. But here it goes.
Open "NVIDIA X Server Settings". In PowerMixer menu, set Preferred Mode to "Prefer Maximum performance".
This prevents the gpu-clock to automatically go down to save power. Compiz is very smooth all the time, but the battery time is drastically reduces  |
