Discernibly slower than F11
FWIW, I am booting with nomodesetting option and using 'nv' driver with
an xorg.conf setting (the same as I was using in F11) because I simply
cannot get 1280x1024 with the nouveau driver, even with 'nomodesetting'
boot option.
Anyone else notice this? Is there something I am doing wrong?
I've noticed exactly the same behaviour, and its driving me nuts... clicking
on the "Start" Menu takes ~10-15s to pop up, but starting apps on my panel by
clicking on the icon works nice and fast. KRunner also takes ~10-15s to
appear if I hit ALT-F2, and more often than not bringing up the desktop
context menu is fast but it then stalls when trying to disappear again.
I'm inclined to think that its _something_ to do with Plasma, but that's only
because all of these items (panel, krunner, desktop menu) are handled via
plasma. I've also got an nVidia card here, although I'm using the non-free
drivers from nVidia.
Worst of all, when it stalls, it actually stalls out the whole desktop; if I
was to move my mouse anywhere else and try to click on another window it
doesn't respond; I can see the mouse move, but nothing else will respond to
clicks until its finished stalling.
Is driving me nuts, though... its making it painfully brutally slow to get
anything done when every time I click on something I have to wait 10-15s for
it to respond. :|
