Well, if the software engine is in use, the graphics card has almost nothing to do with it, composite performance can only be medicore then. There are 2 explainations why the GL engine wouldn't work: a) your drivers/X are misconfigured and GL doesn't work at all b) you have GL options enabled in E which your card does not support for [a], you can just check if GL works by running a GL applications, e.g. glxgears, and checking the output of glxinfo (especially if Direct Rendering is active) for [b], the most likely candidate would be the option "Indirect Rendering", you should turn it off, as it mostly does not work. Other than that, just try enabling/disabling any option. Resetting to default composite config might also work. > > > -- > > -- > Wido > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Live Security Virtual Conference > Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and > threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
