Bug#529397: compiz: Very very very slow on nVidia Quadro NVS 285
Package: compiz
Version: 0.8.2-6
Severity: normal
While other GL stuff runs fine, running compiz is unbearably slow on my
nVidia Quadro NVS 285, using nVidia's proprietary drivers. See:
GL_VERSION: 2.1.2 NVIDIA 173.14.09
GL_VENDOR: NVIDIA Corporation
GL_RENDERER: Quadro NVS 285/PCI/SSE2
Maybe it has to do with a dual screen setup?
Note: slow means that I can see windows being drawn when clicking on
them to bring them forward. Many other parts of the desktop aren't drawn
at all (window content, panel applets, etc.). This makes the desktop
completely unusable when running compiz.
I'm starting from a GNOME/Metacity session and I type: compiz --replace
& in a terminal to get this result.
Any other info I can provide to find the cause?
