View Full Version : [ubuntu] Window management to slow after upgrade to 12.10

Hey all,

after upgrading to 12.10 my computer has basicly become a glacier when I use Unity. Before the upgrade I could run either unity 2d/3d without trouble, tho I did prefer 2d as I tend to have 10+ screens open (I have 3 monitors) and it's more responsive in 2d mode.

Now however 3d is default (and the only one) and also it is completely borked. Even on my phenom 2 quadcore with dedicated Radeon 5700 series it is completely unusable.

Running compizconfig to disable effects and stuff is also useless as it borks the window management or the bar on the left itself, so no way to get performance back to normal (my PC should be capable of handling this stuff, it did before).

How do I fix this _and_ be able to use unity ? (I just got used to it and finally started to like it somehow)
