window drag laggin

Post by ntc »

Hi,
I just got my C2 with Ubuntu Mate 18.04.2 LTS aarch64, Kernel: 3.16.68-41. Clean, then I did update & upgrade & reboot.

And it's slooooow, here's how slow it is:

Not mentioning chrome + youtube videos ;)

CPU governor is set to performance with 1.54 GHz speed.

And my glmark results seems slow as well /with SceneTerrain error/:

Disable compositor, check you are using fbturbo driver.

Not having opengl support is normal. You have gles.
Try reinstalling mali as well: sudo apt-get install --reinstall mali-x11

Did you set "Marco (No compositor)" option in Mate-Tweak windows menu?

So I've set "Marco (No compositor)" as well as I've did

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install --reinstall mali-x11
Next I rebooted.
But:

Code: Select all

glxinfo |grep -i opengl

Window dragging is still painfully slow.
What should I try next?

glxinfo won't work as it will check for MESA OpenGL support.
ODROIDs don't support OpenGL, they only support OpenGL ES.
Install mesa-utils-extra and run es2_info instead.

But just so you know Mali GPU has nothing to do with Window Management, this is done entirely by the CPU not the GPU.

Opengl is normal to be handled by MESA. Try eglinfo instead.

Also, /dev/mali should have correct permissions:

Code: Select all

adrianp@bellatrix:~$ ls -l /dev/mali*
crwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10, 62 Jul 24 14:17 /dev/mali

Check the below two settings. I had no such window drag lagging problem after confirm the following settings.
Mate Tweak: Window Manager: Marco (No compositor)
Window Preferences: Uncheck "Enable software compositing window manager".
mate_set.png
mate_set.png (292.53 KiB) Viewed 1754 times

But the lagging problem appeared when I was moving a quite bigger window.
In that case, enable "Do not show window content when moving windows" option.

as fbturbo does not have many options anyway (means you can't misconfigure it), it's fine to check if it was started correctly in Xorg.0.log

Also noteworthy is probably that 4k resolution also slows down desktop performance :)
