Hi, |

Today I tried to enable the composite extension on my Xorg. Nice eye |
4 |
candy :) and everything works pretty good. |

The only problem is that sometimes the CPU usage shots to > 80% for |
7 |
intervals of 20-60 minutes (at pretty random intervals, but it seems to |
8 |
me that switching desktops a lot helps the bug to come out) and then |
9 |
quietly settles out. If I kill xcompmgr the CPU usage instantly comes |
10 |
down to almost zero. Restarting composite makes the CPU usage rise again |
11 |
to something like 10-20% (it depends), quite high but bearable. |

|

I should be using a fully hw-accelerated Xorg, however. I have an ATI |
14 |
Radeon 9200se card with the following options: |

that, according to http://gentoo-wiki.com/TIP_Xorg_X11_and_Transparency |
31 |
, should give most acceleration for my card. What seems strange to me is |
32 |
that the problem happens at random (a misconfiguration should fit better |
33 |
a constant high CPU usage). |
34 |
|
35 |
I am using latest stable 7.0 Xorg. |

|

Any idea to help me understand what the problem can be? |
