I suppose you're running a complete ~arch system, not just some packages? |

|
21 |
Also, I had a somewhat similar problem with GUI slowness. It was a |
22 |
matter of disabling the "Use VSync" checkbox in System Settings->Desktop |
23 |
Effects->Advanced tab and enabling the "Disable functionality checks" |
24 |
box in the same tab. Note that the desktop and all apps will keep being |
25 |
tear-free and VSynced even if making those changes in System Settings. |

Furthermore, I've set: |
28 |
|
29 |
CheckIsSafe=false |
30 |
|
31 |
in my ~/.kde4/share/config/kwinrc |
32 |
|
33 |
After all that, KDE 4.5.0 runs perfectly for me using |
34 |
gentoo-sources-2.6.35-r1, xorg-server-1.8.99.905, and the following live |
35 |
(9999) packages: |
36 |
|
37 |
media-libs/mesa |
38 |
x11-proto/glproto |
39 |
x11-proto/dri2proto |
40 |
x11-libs/libdrm |
41 |
x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati |

Using KMS. |
