- I use nvidia-drivers and xfce - when upgraded from x11-base/xorg-server-1.3.0.0 to x11-base/xorg-server-1.3.0.0-r1, switching between desktops became terribly slow -- in fact, the computer freezed for a few sec - downgrading to x11-base/xorg-server-1.3.0.0 solved the problem - while there is only one patch different (use-composite-for-unequal-depths.patch), I guess, the issue is in there Reproducible: Always Portage 2.1.3.9 (default-linux/amd64/2007.0/desktop, gcc-4.1.2, glibc-2.5-r4, 2.6.22-gentoo-r8 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.22-gentoo-r8 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 6000+ Timestamp of tree: Sun, 07 Oct 2007 07:00:01 +0000 ccache version 2.4 [enabled] app-shells/bash: 3.2_p17 dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.0.33-r1 dev-lang/python: 2.4.4-r5 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r6 dev-util/ccache: 2.4-r7 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.9-r2 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.17 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.61-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10 sys-devel/binutils: 2.17-r1 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.16 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.24 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.21 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=k8 -O2 -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c" CXXFLAGS="-march=k8 -O2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="ccache distlocks metadata-transfer parallel-fetch sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo" LANG="cs_CZ.UTF-8" LC_ALL="cs_CZ.UTF-8" LINGUAS="cs" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages --filter=H_**/files/digest-*" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/portage/local/layman/sunrise /usr/portage/local/layman/synce /usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="3dnow 3dnow2 3dnowext X a52 aac acl acpi adns alsa amd64 avahi avi bash-completion berkdb bitmap-fonts bzip2 bzlib cairo calendar cdr cli cpufreq cracklib crypt cups curl dbus dri dvb dvd dvdr dvdread emboss encode evo examples exif expat fam fastcgi fat firefox flac foomaticdb fortran ftp gcj gd gdbm geoip gif gnutls gphoto2 gpm gtk gtk2 hal howl iconv icq imagemagick imap ipv6 isdnlog jabber jack jpeg jpeg2k kerberos lcms ldap libnotify lm_sensors mad maildir mhash midi mikmod mime mmap mmx mmxext mng mp3 mpeg mudflap ncurses nls nptl nptl-only nptlonly ntfs offensive ogg oggvorbis openal opengl openmp oscar pam pcre pdf pdflib perl pic plotutils png postscript ppds pppd python qt3support qt4 quicktime readline reflection reiserfs sdl session soap speex spell spl sqlite3 sse sse2 sse3 ssl ssse3 startup-notification svg sysfs tcltk tcpd tetex tidy tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode usb usepackagedmakefiles vcd videos vorbis wmf xcomposite xface xfs xml xml2 xmlrpc xorg xosd xpm xprint xscreensaver xsl xv xvid zeroconf zlib" ALSA_CARDS="hda-intel" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" DVB_CARDS="usb-dib0700 dibusb-usb2" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="cs" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LDFLAGS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS

The problem remains in x11-base/xorg-server-1.3.0.0-r4. More over, this only happens if you have a terminal (xfce terminal) on the desktop.

Hi, this happens also wenn using the gnome-terminal, but it doesn't happen wenn using konsole (KDE). Both where runnig using the default configuration.
just for the record: xorg-server-1.3.0.0-r5 => no change
I had the same problem with xfce terminal and xorg-server 1.3.0.0-rx and I have upgraded to xorg-server-1.4.0.90-r3. The problem is still there.
I think, this is the same problem as described in the following forum thread: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-605972-postdays-0-postorder-asc-start-0.html It's still present in xorg-server-1.3.0.0-r6 and xorg-server-1.4.2 with gnome-terminal-2.22.3-r1. Because this bug is unfixed now for one year, I thought it's just unfixable. But a test with Ubuntu showed me, that this problem doesn't occur there, so there has to be a fix... If you need more information to locate the problem, just ask.
Please try more recent (in ~arch) versions of the nvidia drivers. That's about all I can suggest... Thanks
I'm using version 177.80 of nvidia drivers, so we have to wait, if the driver is the problem.
Xorg-server 1.5.3-r5 is now the latest stable version of the X server. Please don't hesitate to reopen this bug if you can still reproduce the issue with an up-to-date system. Thanks
