Still would like some oprofile with symbol names for the non-shadowfb case (although I have a reasonable idea), but yes, bz would be excellent. Re reasonable idea: Software alpha-blending of text just sucks. In principle g-t is double-buffered, so the composition should be something like CA blend to the backing pixmap followed by blit to the front buffer, and therefore the backing pixmap could come out of card memory, which would turn the blit into hostdata upload, which isn't _that_ painful. You could even damage-track the blending if you wanted, although that might not be a win. Plus if you start evicting everything you do text blends to, you might not have a lot left in card memory. Tough to say. Also it's not clear whether this is just latent sucking, or something introduced between FC6 and now. Swapping out the X server to test might be an idea, it should be reasonably independent. - ajax -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
