I've not used superkaramba, but given that it's possible with any window |
| 10 |
if you are using xorg's composite (extremely unstable and experimental in |
| 11 |
xorg 6.8, better in 6.9 and modular xorg 7.0 but still very resource |
| 12 |
hogging, MUCH MUCH better in 7.1 if you opt to use EXA in place of the |
| 13 |
older XAA, and have a window manager like kwin that handles composite -- |
| 14 |
virtually no drag on CPU performance at all with xorg 7.1), it will |
| 15 |
certainly be possible with superkaramba as well. |

Take a look at the screenshots I posted at |

| 19 |
if you wish to get an idea of what it looks like here, on a dual 1600x1200 |
| 20 |
monitor setup w/ a Radeon 92xx series dual monitor out card running the |
| 21 |
native/libre xorg ati/radeon driver. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
That was KDE 3.5.1 and xorg 7.0. See up in the top left corner how it's |
| 24 |
chewing 100% cycles on one CPU of the dual Opteron I run? 7.1 doesn't do |
| 25 |
that any more. It runs ~10% utilization on one CPU instead of 100%, with |
| 26 |
more stuff turned on. Yeah, I'm running the hard masked xorg 7.1 |
| 27 |
modular ebuilds, compiled with the then still hard masked gcc-4.1.0. (4.1.1 |
| 28 |
is now ~arch.) |
