A bit more information which I again don't know if is helpful. The desktop effects seem to be generally "slow". For example, maximizing and minimizing windows is very jerky.
However, if I switch from using OpenGL as the "compositing type" in "System Settings" -> "Desktop Effects" -> "Advanced" tab and use XRender instead the effects become much smoother (although a few effects are disabled because they require OpenGL). Switching to XRender also _seems_ to have gotten rid of the artifacts although I don't have a good way of reliably reproducing them so I can't say for sure. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to mesa in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1042211 Title: [quantal] [regression] [i915] Corrupted display, desktop and menus don't repaint correctly using Mesa 9.0 (8.0.4 works) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/1042211/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
