T41 overwhelmed by compiz "Normal" and metacity

[DULMANDAKH Sukhbaatar]

I have t41 too. But it's working fine with compositing. It has radeon 7100
mobile graphics card.

I don't like compiz, so I disable it not from command line doing hard thing,
but from menu system -> display and so on.

Kind regards

Hi,

 Hard hang on ThinkPad T41 on Karmic Koala.  Probably other "older"
 systems.

 The current default "Change Desktop Background"->"Visual Effects"
 in Karmic is "Normal".

 On my ThinkPad T41, the Karmic version overwhelms the machine
 and causes a hard hang.  I was able to resolve this on three separate
 machines, and accidentally discovered it when I had one machine
 that worked (two failed).

 I was able to get past this by immediately (after login) change the
 "Visual Effects" to "None".

 So far, enabling compiz on T41 with Karmic causes hard hang.
 Enabling metacity causes unusably slow response (of Firefox for
 sure).

 It seems that disabling all of compiz and metacity is necessary
 for "older" machines.

Cheers,
