Bug#651227: Compositing unuseable with Radeon r300
Package: kde-window-manager
Version: 4:4.6.5-3
Severity: normal
If I enable windows effects the glxgears framerate goes down to 20 fps, moving
windows etc. is a pain.
Doing "compiz --replace" works as expected: glxgears is at the expected 60 fps
(synchronized with monitor refresh rate), wobbling windows are a real fun.
Because compiz does not work well with KDE4 I have disabled windows effects.
