The Cost Of Running Compiz

[GNU/Blind]

Never seen any dwm crash. Broken ram perhaps?

Mainly crashes when running games that don't list windows vista or 7 as supported and OpenGL based games. I can assure you ram and video card are fine. A couple of times I have seem it crash with steam based games. I have also seen it crash when minimizing games and alt-tabbing between a game and another application as well.

I've never seen dwm crash either. Hell say what you want about windows but aero is WAY more stable than compiz. And aero also doesn't effect gaming performance like compiz.

For me, the cost of using compiz is the lack of antialiasing on games. As soon as compiz is enabled i loose Antialiasing.

Or broken system.

Most of the time dwm.exe crashes.

Interestingly, some time ago I was peeking at a friend's computer and I noticed that some applications do disable compositing on Windows 7. It made me laugh, because it seems that this is a problem everywhere

seriously,. 24 freely programmable keys with 10 layers (so 240 programmable positions) is just awesome...

hehe......

oh no, I only toggle composite once every couple of weeks. Quickly, I have to hack an overblown script!

Or I just hit the key combo.

Which I can programm into my keyboard.

So it is one single keypress...

Oh noes, that poor little kwin, i hope he get better soon. Are you sure, alt+shift-F12 really?

You know those ppl that only quote other ppl's howtos/scripts but never write anyone them selfe to help out?

Hope you understand my sarcasm...
