SuSE 11 - window behaviour - jerky slow - Page 2

Have you accidentally enabled Compiz or KDE Desktop effects?

Ben,

You identified the problem. I went into configure desktop, Look and Feel, desktop - and found that 'desktop effects' had been selected. How I ever turned on desktop effects I will never know. My system was not built for graphics and the graphics chip shares memory with the system. So, not appropriate to have desktop effects on.

I wonder if this is the same problem that mmarif4u is having?

Many thanks.

And thanks, caf4926 for the super assistance too.

Mark

Glad to help!

I also had issues with enabling KDE Desktop Effects on my Radeon 7500 Mobile. Moving windows just slowed to a crawl. They have yet to optimize the KDE window manager to perform at compiz speeds.

Could be you are looking at this issue, the thread is about changes to the xorg drivers affecting Intel chipsets:
OpenSuSE 11 and Xorg update - openSUSE Forums

Look at comment 17 and 23, could be reverting to the xorg driver solves issues for NVidia too? Again, the parameters in the post are for Intel video cards.. don't know how they will affect other cards.

Cheers,
Wj
