[Bug 291462] Re: KDE4 desktop in Intrepid is unacceptably SLOW on standard GPUs (Intel GMA9x5 for example) and totally unusable via remote sessions (VNC and NX)

 

I also have the same problem KDE 4.1 clean install intrepid yesterday.
My laptop's one of the fastest around LG P300

2.4GHz Intel, Geforce 8600M, 2GB DDR2

i have same issues as eugenesan. Simply closing bug and dismissing is
counter productive. I'm unable to test with jaunty since nvidia drivers
fail to work and just crash KDE once session starts- its fine with kdm
and session starts but once ANY window opens it will just lockup until
kdm is stopped.

which makes me think it could maybe be a driver issue.

1. GUI updates always delayed.
2. Object redrawing takes sometimes a seconds, while garbage is displayed instead of objects in the middle.

> For me this is mostly opening new windows. A delay. Also accessing
anything on the plasma dashboard is ultra delayed but then is normal
speed once its in context. Clicking show dashboard is also ultra delayed
taking a few seconds but leaving it is normal speed.

Closing windows is also delayed. Usually will display a bunch of garbage
and then disappear.

Feel free to contact me on my email address if you need any more info.

Bug description:
KDE4 desktop in Intrepid is unacceptably SLOW on standard GPUs (Intel GMA9x5 for example) and totally unusable via remote sessions (VNC and NX)!

1. GUI updates always delayed.
2. Object redrawing takes sometimes a seconds, while garbage is displayed instead of objects in the middle.
3. Paging text in editors/browsers is hardly possible, seconds to get next page in Kate!
4. In VNC and NX sessions widgets partially missing or distorted.
5. Many GUI elements are over sized and leaves too little workspace in applications.

ALL OF THAT ON UP TO DATE DUAL CORE MACHINES, EVEN VISTA DOES ALL THAT BETTER!!!
NONE OF ABOVE IS CORRECT FOR KDE3!!!
