Ok, I added this as a bugzilla entry as follows:
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=135071
If this related or you think so, then add your comments over there,
Thanks, Mick

Scott:
I updated the full dev tree after being out of town a week (yesterday)
and experienced a huge slowdown on all OGL X related processes,
screensavers, UT2003 (Game), etc.
Things of this nature went from good performance to about (as you said)
10% or so. Slow enough to be able to see the page flipping or frame
rate. Anyway, I kept checking the running processes when I noticed that
Xclients & xinitrc were running as subclients of dbus (the 'new'
communications master).
That was news to me since it just seemed like that'd be quite a
bottleneck unless dbus worked perfectly (and perfectly fast). I had the
old copy of xinintrc (which is the script in /etc/X11/xinit that
determines 'how' X is started), so I saved the new one (in case I
bugreported it) and overwrote it, and restarted X. This caused all
performance to go back to 'good' or 'normal'. It also kept Xclients from
being subsidiary to dbus. Everything still works ok, so this is a
useable config and other non-X clients are using dbus to advantage since
they're not as time critical as graphics.
It seems like a dbus performance bug and it definitely is new for this
to be happening. I'm guessing the 2 day old xinintrc package I
downloaded is almost certainly the culprit. The line with Xclient, when
working quickly and pre-2 days back should appear as follows:
"ps -ef | grep Xc
root 20910 20888 0 Oct07 ? 00:00:00 ssh-agent
/etc/X11/xinit/Xclients"
With the new xinitrc running it appears as above but with dbus-daemon in
front.
Anyway: I'll search bugzilla and if nothing is around will do a bug
report on it.

T23: Audio and ACPI/apm
by G. Vincent Castellano
I have an IBM T23 laptop, previously running Red Hat 9, upgraded to FC3t2.
Should I be submitting my problems to bugzilla or discussing here first?
1. Audio sometimes needs to be re-inited
Sound worked fine out of the box on RH 9. Now the audio is sometimes broken
until I delete the stanza from /etc/sysconfig/hwconf and re-run kudzu. Xmms
gives its generic 'Couldn't open audio' box, and snd (the sound editor) just
hangs when I try to play something. Stanza from hwconf is:
class: AUDIO
bus: PCI
detached: 0
driver: snd-intel8x0
desc: "Intel Corp. 82801CA/CAM AC'97 Audio Controller"
vendorId: 8086
deviceId: 2485
subVendorId: 1014
subDeviceId: 0222
pciType: 1
pcidom: 0
pcibus: 0
pcidev: 1f
pcifn: 5
-
2. No hibernation on closed cover
In RH9, Power management worked only partway: if I pulled the power before
closing the cover the machine would hibernate properly. If I closed the cover
first and then pulled the power, it would *not* detect the 'power change' event
and would run down the battery. This was a quirk I learned to live with.
Under FC3t2 in the default config (no ACPI kernel param, apmd running) the
machine apparently didn't recognize when it switched to battery power or when
the cover closed, it happily converted battery power to heat energy in my
backpack. When I set kernel param acpi=on, removing and replacing the power
plug gave the familiar chirps, but nothing else happened. At bootup we have
this in /var/log/messages:

It's not the first time I got this, but it's not reproducible. Running
again with same arguments works fine usually. Now I've upgraded yum to
rawhide and issued the command again, it worked.

gnome now has two panels
by Jim Bevier
With todays updates, gnome now has two panels. One at the top and one at
the bottom. The icons seem to be split between the two. How do I just get
back to one? This is on x86_64 system. KDE did not seem to be affected.

screensavers - slow
by Oldman
Hey all:
Just noticed the Xscreensavers are running about 10% normal speed. I'm
pretty sure this is only maybe 2 days, but I can't remember any likely
updates that might have caused this. The last time something like this
happened it was the xorg - GL package I think. Will bugzilla this if
anyone else has seen it.

NVIDIA with games experience....
by Brian Anderson
I was wondering if anyone had any experience with using the NVIDIA
driver undet FC3 using a game. I can use the NVIDIA driver under FC3
sync'ed up to the latest rawhide for the normal desktop. However, when
I use neverwinter nights, FPS performance is very bad: about a frame a
second. I guess I should be fairly happy it runs at all!
I do have to run the game as root to overcome some permission problems
with the NVIDIA devices. Other than that the game doesn't complain
about anything, but display performance is slow.
Any comments or suggestions are welcome.
