I was finally able to completely circumvent this problem by enabling *both* indirect rendering and loose bindings for compiz (by modifying the appropriate line in /usr/bin/compiz). Compiz runs really fast now (a lot (!) faster than with indirect-rendering only and even more faster than without both). I'm running an unsupported combination of software versions however, so could someone check whether this works with plain Intrepid, too?
I am running: Ubuntu 8.04 with stock compiz 0.7.4 Nvidia driver 180.29, installed manually on a Quadro FX 370 (dual monitor setup) Without loose-bindings I especially had very bad performance when running OpenGL applications with compiz enabled. I now have in my /usr/bin/compiz: build_args() { [...] if check_nvidia; then if [ "x$INDIRECT" != "xyes" ]; then COMPIZ_OPTIONS="$COMPIZ_OPTIONS --loose-binding --indirect-rendering " fi fi } -- Screen refresh problems with nvidia on intrepid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/269904 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
