Looks like the KDE4 desktop effects are enabled.

(Desktop effects in a virtual machine is like asking for trouble, my 0.002 â¬).

I can add to my comment that I do NOT use a virtual machine.
This bug is not only visible in VM-environments.

Agreed.

Comment 8 Ahmad Samir 2011-05-22 18:17:41 CEST

IIRC the reporter, AL13N, got the bug running in virtualbox. Also isadora said he's running under vmware. So if you're not running in a virtual machine you should say so in this particular sort of report....

Please post the output of:
lspcidrake -v | grep -Ei "card|display"

Sorry for my poor English, but does that mean we should file another bug report?

I'll try to get and post its output.

I've filed a new bug report (Bug 1403 - https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1403), for I'm not running in a virtual machine and my KDE4 desktop effects are disabled. And there I've provided more screenshots and details.

Comment 13 John Balcaen 2011-11-14 02:36:10 CET

Well desktop effect are disabled by default, thoses effects depends of the virtualisation tools used (& not really kwin/kdebase4-workspace ).
Also is it still valid ?

Comment 16 AL13N 2012-01-11 21:06:36 CET

couldn't reproduce in cauldron, i even tried setting desktop effects to on, it reported that it wasn't able to turn on 3 of them, but it even worked quite well, even though a bit slow...

perhaps this was mdv upgrade related...

i'd like to test with physical hardware, but it seems there's a diff bugreport for that...

Yep, and you already commented in it:

@ Gerald
@ Isadora

Can you reproduce the issue in Mga2alpha?

Comment 18 Marja Van Waes 2012-01-28 07:47:38 CET

@Gerald
@Isadora

Could you please reply to the previous question? If you won't reply within two weeks from now, I will have to close this bug as OLD. Thank you.

Problem solved right here.
No pointer however to a reason why.

Because of bug 4124 I am not able to test in Mageia 2 (Alpha3). Moreover, I don't use a virtual machine. Closing this bugreport is o.k. for me.
