Comment 4 Bernard MAUDRY 2011-04-08 22:55:06 CEST 
I installed beta 1, and now the speed is much better, You can still see the drawing of rectangles but at a fast speed.
Comment 5 Thierry Vignaud 2011-04-11 18:24:38 CEST 
BTW, are you using pure 2D desktop or are you using the 3d effects?
Comment 6 Bernard MAUDRY 2011-04-12 00:09:40 CEST 
3D effects are disabled.
Comment 7 Bernard MAUDRY 2011-04-13 14:38:04 CEST 
When I tried to activate the 3d effects to progress on bug 87, I saw that the glx module was not installed. I re-install x11-server-common to get it back.

And now I am back with a very slow drawing on the screen as it was before beta 1.

And I cannot activate the 3d effects.

Is this bug still valid in Cauldron?

Comment 9 Bernard MAUDRY 2011-09-30 18:55:40 CEST 
Yes, I just retried with the latest state of Cauldron, and I got the same bad performance.
Comment 10 Samuel Verschelde 2011-10-01 01:37:20 CEST 
Assigning to maintainer now that our maintainer's database has an entry for
this package. Please assign back to bugsquad@mageia.org in case of a mistake
from me.

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 :)

Cheers,
marja
