13 Some digging around helped a bit - I switched in SystemSettings/Desktop
14 Effects, the Compositing Type from OpenGL to XRender and now it does not
15 suspend (although 'wobbly windows' and 'Desktop Cube Animation' are disabled.
16
17 In E17 which I use daily the compositing works fine, until I select OpenGL as
18 the rendering engine and then it crashes horribly (won't even boot).
19
20 I have set up mesa to use gallium (if that makes any odds). Is there anything
21 else I need to configure to improve OpenGL performance (at least to stop it
22 crashing)?
