  • Triple Buffering is AWESOME!

    I can't even understand how this can be, but after enabling Triple Buffering on my nVidia GeForce 8800 GTS 512, Cinnamon (1.8) boots up A LOT faster on my Samsung HDD!
    Maybe it helps with other Desktop Environments, too? And how can Triple Buffering even affect boot-times at all?

    PS: If you want to try this yourself, here is what I had to do first on Linux Mint 15 "Olivia", which is based on Ubuntu 13.04 (I know, will upgrade soon...):

    1.
    There was no xorg.conf present, so I had to run this command first:
    Code:
    sudo nvidia-xconfig
    2.
    Then just copy this line to your newly created xorg.conf under the section "Device":
    Code:
    Option "TripleBuffer" "1"
    That's it!
    Just reboot & enjoy the faster loading of Cinnamon!
Working...
