Description Eduardo Durany 2008-12-12 14:04:07 UTC 
Hardware:
Radeon Mobility 7500

System:
xserver-xorg-video-radeon 6.9.0+git20081003.f9826a56
xorg 7.4
KDE 4.2 beta 1 (kwin with compositing enabled)
ubuntu intrepid

xorg.conf:
Section "Device"
        Identifier      "Configured Video Device"
        Driver          "ati"

        Option          "AGPMode" "4"
        Option          "DynamicClocks" "true"
        Option          "TVDACLoadDetect" "TRUE"
        Option          "TVStandard" "pal"

        Option          "AccelMethod" "EXA"
        Option          "AccelDFS"    "true"
        Option          "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy"
EndSection

With "MigrationHeuristic greedy" icons do not display correctly on KDE systray. If i disable this option, systray icons are shown correctly but compositing is much slower.

"greedy" is known broken, and there's little if any interest in fixing it.

Ok, thanks for your answer.
Comment 9 Elias Probst 2008-12-18 01:43:33 UTC 
What to do instead?
Is there any usable configuration, neither slowing down compositing nor hiding the systray icons?
Does anyone know one?

Regards, Elias P.

Use the default "always" and fix/report problems with it. Note that there have been EXA core improvements in the upcoming xserver 1.6, you may want to try the current release candidates. Also, Option "FBTexPercent" "0" may help EXA performance on setups like the one documented in this report.
