[Bug 767251] [NEW] any kde plasma effects load 100% cpu

 

Public bug reported:

Yestarday i've updated my kubuntu (i update system nearly every day) and
today i found, that any plasma animations causes high CPU load and
immediately disabling kwin effects. After enabling by alt+shift+f12, any
plasma animation drops kwin effects again. X-restart as well as system
reboot didn't help. If i disable stability check in desktop effects
settings, kwin hangs with high CPU usage for a long time after
initiating any plasma animation.

Those of effects, that not related with plasma animation (kwin
translucancy, wobbly windows) are OK.

I took a look for install logs and found mesa-* there. Then i've downgraded mesa-* to maverick version, and all seems ok after that. Then i saw this in changelog for mesa:
== 7.10.2-0ubuntu2 ==
  [ Felix Geyer ]
  * Add 114_intel_dri_renderer_string.diff: Re-add "GEM" to the dri renderer
    string of the intel driver. Removing it breaks KDE's detection for the blur
    effect. (LP: #753370)

I have intel card and maybe this change is the cause.
