[3ddesktop-dev] Re: thx (.. and lag)

alexandre,

1* try the latest version or a cvs build. I think some of that initial delay was mitigated with recent updates in the code.

2* there's a patch floating around to integrate 3ddesktop into fluxbox. I don't know what the status of that is. anyone else know?

3* try "autoacquire 0". the default config is (was) "autoacquire off" but this was not effective. after changing it to '0' i had better luck.

In my experience, 3ddesktop performance does not scale well with higher resolutions; you may also try lowering your desktop resolution.

Hello,

First, a big "thank you" to Brad. 3ddesktop is great and i switch desktops just for the pleasure now :]
I don't have too many visitors at home but as soon as i buy a notebook i will show 3ddesktop to everyone and his sister (or only their sisters if they are cute)... no doubt i will convert some windows users to linux just because they'll be impressed by 3ddesktop :]

Nevertheless, i would like to know if anyone has answer/advice about three issues :
1) When i run 3ddesk, it takes a bit more than a second to show up (tried to reduce texture to 256 but no change).
2) Does anyone know if it's possible to change 3ddesktop key bindings for fluxbox ?
3) My PC slows down every time 3ddesk is refreshing (slows for about 1 sec., for instance, keyboard typing is delayed 1-2 sec)

I realy like it fast and responsive, so those three issues are important to me... any help would be appreciated.

Anyway, even if i dont get answers, thx again for this great pager. That + fluxbox = happiness !

Tacite
