<br><br>> From: cannewilson@googlemail.com<br>> To: kde-linux@kde.org<br>> Date: Wed, 7 Jan 2009 12:42:47 +0000<br>> Subject: Re: [kde-linux] kmail and kdewallet<br>> <br><br>> <br>> There has been a massive change in my system over the last 24 hours, which <br>> might provoke some thought for other systems. It was suggested that my cpu <br>> might be having to bear a heavy load because my radeon X600 video card wasn't <br>> sufficiently capable. Then Nikos Chantziaras told me to try "AccelMethod" <br>> "EXA" in my xorg.conf. This was not really to solve the problem of speed, but <br>> to address the random freezes when desktop effects were running. The <br>> difference is immense. Now, with desktop effects running it is totally <br>> stable, as far as I can tell - I haven't had a single freeze since I enabled <br>> this yesterday morning - and I haven't seen long delays and runaway cpu usage.<br>> <br>> I've written this up at http://userbase.kde.org/GPU-<br>> Performance#Desktop_Effects_causes_random_freezes. I understand that the same <br>> EXA method works for some Intel cards that have this problem. I'll try to get <br>> a grip on the additional information I've been given and write it up in the <br>> same place later today.<br>> <br>ALA EXA is still not officially stated to be "stable" i'm not using it.<br>I tried it once, it really was full buggy.<br>a lot of dirt was appearing on screen: scrambled images...<br>> Anne<br><br /><hr />Choose the perfect PC or mobile phone for you. <a href='http://clk.atdmt.com/UKM/go/130777504/direct/01/' target='_new'>Click here</a></body>
