I can't seem to get good performance with the XFWM compositor turned on. If I use the open source drivers, the performance is great (but other things keep me from using it). From what I understand XFWM uses EXA which the open source drivers accelerate and the proprietary drivers are supposed to accelerate via textured2d and/or texturedxrender options. If I enable textured2d, it doesn't seem to help at all. If I enable textured2d and texturedxrender, X crashes on startup.
My system specs:
AMD Turion64 ML-37(2.00GHz) / 1GB DDR @ 400MHz / 60GB 7200rpm
ATI Mobility Radeon X700 128MB
Gentoo x86-64 w/ 2.6.25 gentoo r7
ATI proprietary binary drivers 8.542
XFCE/XFWM 4.4.2
xorg server 1.4.2
xorg x11 7.3
mesa 7.2
X error with texturedxrender on:
Any ideas/suggestions? Thanks!
