Description Andrew 2012-04-16 00:45:13 CEST

Description of problem:

When using KDE with desktop effects enabled, system intermittently lags / pauses for up to 5 second intervals. Once first pause of the session is experienced, problem tends to recur several times per minute until either desktop effects are disabled (problem returns if effects are re-enabled during the affected session) or until the system is rebooted.

This bug may be hardware specific. Using an Acer netbook model AO532h with an "Intel N10 Family Integrated Graphics Controller" (Vendor ID: 0x8086, Device ID: 0xa011, Sub vender ID: 0x1025, Sub Device ID: 0x0349) using Module: Card:Intel 810 and later

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

kernel-desktop-3.3.1-2.mga2
kde 4.8.2

How reproducible:

Intermittently when using KDE with Desktop Effects enabled.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Log into KDE with desktop effects enabled
2. Lag occurs randomly (NOTE: It can be more easily detected if the system clock is set to display seconds. Time will freeze during these pauses.

Hi,

This bug was filed against cauldron, but we do not have cauldron at the moment.

Please report whether this bug is still valid for Mageia 2.

Thanks :)

Cauldron-KDE from over 2 years ago can't be compared to  current cauldron.

Closing as OLD

I doubt the reported
"Intel N10 Family Integrated Graphics Controller" (Vendor ID: 0x8086, Device ID: 0xa011, Sub vender ID: 0x1025, Sub Device ID: 0x0349) using Module: Card:Intel 810 and later
should be able to handle Desktop Effects, though :-/
