Re: Intel 945GM card and KWin Effects - anyone with good, fast performance ?

[Laurent Léonard <laurent@open-minds.org>]

Hi,

I am testing KDE 4.2.2 on my Toshiba Portégé R500. I tested some KWin effects 
like shadows, alpha and cube desktop and it seems to be relatively fast. The 
cube desktop effect rendering is running at 10-15 FPS, but I is usable and I 
think it's normal for the 945GM.

I am using Linux 2.6.26-2 from unstable and there is no special configuration 
in xorg.conf...
