Re: Does metacity compositor use acceleration?

I'm gonna stick with it for a while and see if it improves or I can fix it. The latest updates I downloaded today seem to have improved it a bit. It's definitely faster now than before. But it's still noticeably slower than compiz or metacity with no compositing. -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailin

Does metacity compositor use acceleration?

Does the compositor that you can enable in metacity in hardy use 3D acceleration? I like it better than compiz (the alt-tab isn't broken for one thing) but it seems slow. Thanks -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: http
