I think this might be related to known performance problems with NVidia graphics cards and compositing in KDE 4. 1. How large is your Konsole window? (roughly, in pixels) 2. Does disabling KWin's effects make any difference? I suggest keeping KWin's desktop effects enabled, but turn off all individual effects and then enable them one-by-one to find out which of them cause the most significant performance drop. At a guess I would expect the "blur" effect might be responsible. First, some informations perhaps worth mentioning, xorg & nvidia-driver version : $ dpkg -l xserver-xorg nvidia-kernel-2.6.24-1-686 ii nvidia-kernel-2.6.24-1-686 169.09-1+2.6.24-4 ii xserver-xorg 1:7.3+10 1. this appens whatever the konsole size is (usually resizing from ~1600x1000 -> ~1000x600, but same appens when I do ~200x200 -> ~300x300) 2. - if I fully disable desktop effects Enabled=false in the [Compositing] section, there is not more slowdown (but no more transparency too) - if I disable all effects, I get a black screen on login, as reported by someone else in bug #154637 (see attached xsession-error, even if I don't think there's much interesting here, I'll also post it on #154637) - if I just enable the fade effect, then the behaviour is the same as with all effects enabled. Created attachment 23635 [details]
.xsession-error when no effect is enabled
last bit of information, KWIN_NVIDIA_HACK is set to 1 & exported in my ~/.profile KWIN_NVIDIA_HACK=1 doesn't speed up konsole behaviour for me. I use KDE-SVN (13 narch 2008), X.Org X Server 1.4.0.90 (Release Date: 5 September 2007), nvidia-drivers-169.12. Profiling using sysprof shows that the majority of time is spent in the nvidia closed-source driver for xorg (/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.so, and from the the majority is in /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libfb.so), so I'm afraid there's not much we can do for you. I suggest you report the problem to nvidia. |
Version: (using KDE 4.0.1) Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages OS: Linux When konsole is started with the --enable-transparency switch, it takes a very long time (5 to 10 secs) to resize, while the desktop is usually quite smooth for other things (after using it for some time or perhaps after doing a specific thing, I couldn't determine the cause, it tends to be slow for everything, but that's another story !). During the resizing time the whole desktop is unusable (not redrawing I think). I can only move the mouse. I use kwin 4.0.1 and konsole 4.0.1 in a (mostly) 3.5.8 KDE (all are debian packages, 3.5.8 from unstable and 4.0.1 from experimental) --- $ cat .kde4/share/config/kwinrc [$Version] update_info=kwin_focus2.upd:kwin_focus2,kwin_focus1.upd:kwin_focus1,kwin.upd:kde3.0r1,kwin.upd:kde3.2Xinerama,kwin3_plugin.upd:kde3.2,kwin_on_off.upd:kwin_on_off [Compositing] Backend=OpenGL Enabled=true GLDirect=false GLMode=TFP GLTextureFilter=1 GLVSync=false HiddenPreviews=3 XRenderSmoothScale=false [Desktops] Name_1= Name_2= Name_3= Name_4= Number=4 [Desktops-screen-1] Name_1= Name_2= Name_3= Name_4= Number=4 [Effect-MakeTransparent] Decoration=0.75 Dialogs=0.9 MoveResize=0.75 [Effect-PresentWindows] BorderActivate=9 BorderActivateAll=7 [Effect-ThumbnailAside] MaxWidth=250 Opacity=60 Spacing=10 [MouseBindings] CommandActiveTitlebar1=Raise CommandActiveTitlebar2=Lower CommandActiveTitlebar3=Operations menu CommandAll1=Move CommandAll2=Toggle raise and lower CommandAll3=Resize CommandAllKey=Alt CommandAllWheel=Nothing CommandInactiveTitlebar1=Activate and raise CommandInactiveTitlebar2=Activate and lower CommandInactiveTitlebar3=Operations menu CommandTitlebarWheel=Nothing CommandWindow1=Activate, raise and pass click CommandWindow2=Activate and pass click CommandWindow3=Activate and pass click [Plugins] kwin4_effect_blurEnabled=true kwin4_effect_boxswitchEnabled=true kwin4_effect_desktopgridEnabled=true kwin4_effect_dialogparentEnabled=true kwin4_effect_diminactiveEnabled=false kwin4_effect_explosionEnabled=false kwin4_effect_fadeEnabled=true kwin4_effect_fallapartEnabled=false kwin4_effect_invertEnabled=false kwin4_effect_loginEnabled=false kwin4_effect_logoutEnabled=false kwin4_effect_lookingglassEnabled=false kwin4_effect_magnifierEnabled=false kwin4_effect_maketransparentEnabled=true kwin4_effect_minimizeanimationEnabled=true kwin4_effect_mousemarkEnabled=false kwin4_effect_presentwindowsEnabled=true kwin4_effect_scaleinEnabled=false kwin4_effect_shadowEnabled=true kwin4_effect_sharpenEnabled=false kwin4_effect_showfpsEnabled=false kwin4_effect_showpaintEnabled=false kwin4_effect_taskbarthumbnailEnabled=false kwin4_effect_thumbnailasideEnabled=false kwin4_effect_trackmouseEnabled=false kwin4_effect_videorecordEnabled=false kwin4_effect_zoomEnabled=false [PopupInfo] ShowPopup=false [TabBox] TraverseAll=false [Windows] ActiveMouseScreen=false AltTabStyle=KDE AutoRaise=false AutoRaiseInterval=750 BorderSnapZone=10 ClickRaise=true DelayFocus=false DelayFocusInterval=750 ElectricBorderDelay=150 ElectricBorders=0 FocusPolicy=ClickToFocus FocusStealingPreventionLevel=1 GeometryTip=false HideUtilityWindowsForInactive=true MaximizeButtonLeftClickCommand=Maximize MaximizeButtonMiddleClickCommand=Maximize (vertical only) MaximizeButtonRightClickCommand=Maximize (horizontal only) MoveMode=Opaque MoveResizeMaximizedWindows=false Placement=Smart ResizeMode=Opaque RollOverDesktops=true SeparateScreenFocus=false ShadeHover=false ShadeHoverInterval=250 SnapOnlyWhenOverlapping=false TitlebarDoubleClickCommand=Maximize WindowSnapZone=10 --- $ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf # nvidia-settings: X configuration file generated by nvidia-settings # nvidia-settings: version 1.0 (randy@juliet2) Sat May 12 15:26:42 PDT 2007 Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Layout0" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" EndSection Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "Enable" EndSection Section "Files" RgbPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb" EndSection Section "Module" Load "dbe" Load "extmod" Load "type1" Load "freetype" Load "glx" EndSection Section "ServerFlags" Option "Xinerama" "0" EndSection Section "InputDevice" # generated from default Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "auto" Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection Section "InputDevice" # generated from default Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "kbd" Option "XkbLayout" "fr" EndSection Section "Monitor" # HorizSync source: edid, VertRefresh source: edid Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "Unknown" ModelName "Seiko" HorizSync 30.0 -
