Re: Weird behaviour - resize of konsoles has 2s delay
Hi Valerio,
Thanks for your suggestion, and your xorg device section.
I copied that into my xorg, replacing my existing sections for
my two 8600's.
It just took 8 seconds to resize an empty (apart from a prompt)
konsole that occupied a third of the screen.
That is, I click and hold the top edge, and move the mouse up or
down, and then wait.
8 seconds! Hot dang!
I've counted up to 11 seconds in some cases, but it usually
hovers around the 3-6 second mark.
I'm not convinced it's a KDE 4 problem, but it doesn't seem like an
X problem simply because it is affecting konsole and, seemingly,
nothing else. I think I saw a bit of tardy response from okular,
but that hasn't been repeatable. It doesn't appear to be text-
based, as this email window (kmail) can resize very quickly.
Ditto other applications I use (OOo, quanta, konq, iceweasel,
amarok) -- all of them tend to be text-heavy.
I modified my konsole settings - for several years I've used the
dark/transparent background - but I went back to something
more conservative just on the off-chance. No change.
I made the changes that thread you posted suggested - these
were nvidia-settings from a user-level account - and again, no
change.
Remember, I'm on a quad-core box, 2GB ram, very little happening
on the CPU front (trickling along at 8% on average), and one monitor.
7 seconds - consistently! - just to resize one type of application
is a particularly curious little bug.
Hence I was interested if anyone else around these parts is seeing
anything similar. It's looking like I might be on my own, though.
cheers,
Jedd.
