Description:
Since the X.org 1.16 update, I'm seeing the same lagging symptoms that others saw with certain versions of the Nvidia driver: https://github.com/chjj/compton/issues/181 https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=178024 https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/39827 Only, I am using the xf86-video-intel driver on an Intel HD 4000 chipset. Scrolling in Firefox is the easiest way to reproduce the problem. Using Compton (compton-git from AUR) in XFCE, scrolling lags by one wheel event, and will only catch up when some later action (such as moving the mouse over a link) triggers another redraw. With Compiz (compiz-gtk-standalone from AUR), the problem is more severe: the lag can extend to several wheel events, and moving the mouse over a link only redraws a small rectangle around the link, causing a "cut up" look as described in the forum thread. With compton, the --xrender-sync-fence option fixes the problem, but as far as I can tell, that option is only a workaround and the real problem lies in the driver. Also, the problem does not show up in a plain XFCE session with no compositor running. Additional info: * package version(s) linux 3.15.6-1 xorg-server 1.16.0-2 xf86-video-intel 2.99.912-3 |

Since last update I noticed in Lugaru HD objects flickering; in chromium when hovering over the tabs, the window starts freezing - lagging for a brief moment while I move the mouse.
Packages have dri3 disabled
Tried it today and this solved the refresh problem for me.
