Hello everyone!
About a week ago, I noticed a strange behaviour in my menus.
For example:
One or two seconds later:
Again another example:
One or two seconds later:
It occurs more or less when movement is involved ,opening or resize a window ,hovering on drop down menus ,etc. etc.
It looks like a kind of lag.
I don`t have problems in playing videos.
In my quest for troubleshoot this problem, this is what I did so far:
-
Change window manger:
Marco (No compositor) : No problems with windows, but with tearing on scrolling text In browser.
Marco (Software compositor) No problems with windows, still problems with tearing.
Marco (Compton GPU compositor) My default setting, is the worst... but no tearing
Compiz (Advanced GPU accelerated desktop effects) better than Compton GPU compositor, but still not perfect and no tearing. -
Boot on different kernels:
4.4.0-87 generic
4.10.0-27 generic -
Googled :
I found something about..... X Render , GLX backend and VSync ...but the more I read, the more I realize what I don't know.
Because of the recent updates ,Mesa 17.0.7 was also on my list.
As always I appreciate any advice and support.
