Hi Thomas, Ok, thanks for the additional info. The comment about "modesetting" confused me as this definitely enables llvmpipe and software rendering and no GPU acceleration on both 12.04 & 14.04. I didn't realize the issue is when using the virtualized GPU driver in ESX.
We could probably add the VMWare 3D driver to our list of drivers that should use low graphics mode. This will disable the blur effect along with some other effects. If you can get the output from /usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p when using the VMWare 3D driver, then I could probably put together a test Unity package for you to try. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of compiz packagers, which is subscribed to compiz in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1293384 Title: Compiz CPU usage dramatically increased in Ubuntu 14.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/1293384/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~compiz Post to : compiz@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~compiz More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
