===Your graphics card struggles with Flash video===
If you have an older graphics card, hardware acceleration may be a struggle for it. This may be particularly obvious when watching flash videos such as Youtube videos.  This may help:
:* While viewing a 'Flash' video right-click on the video 'screen'.
:* A menu will appear with 'settings' and 'check-boxes'.
[[Image:FlashOff1.png|center|500px|thumb]]
:* If you choose the 'global settings' (near the bottom) it takes you a box for the 'global settings'.
:* There you can turn off hardware acceleration for Flash

==== 开源的 Radeon 驱动 ====


==== Open Source radeon driver ====
开源 Radeon 驱动默认使用的是 XAA 硬件加速的方法。所以你需要从 XAA（X Acceleration Architecture）更改 2D 加速方法，以使用较新的 EXA。由于这涉及到编辑您的 xorg.conf 文件，记住，这样的修改可能会损害您的系统。''这一点需要您自担风险''，如果你做错了，有可能导致 X 无法启动，所以先备份 xorg.conf 文件。


The Open Source '''radeon''' driver uses the XAA acceleration method by default. So you need to change the acceleration method from XAA (X Acceleration Architecture) to the newer EXA. As this involves editing your ''xorg.conf'' file, bear in mind that if you make an error, it may result in X not starting on your system, so first save a copy of the existing xorg.cong file.
要更换，编辑你的 xorg.conf 文件。定位到设定显卡的 Device 部分。添加这行
{{Input|1=Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"}}
到 "EndSection" 这行之前。如果已经有一行是有 AccelMethod，那直接修改 XAA  成 EXA。保存文件并重启 X server。


To make the switch, edit your xorg.conf file.  Locate the Device section for your graphics card. Before the "EndSection" line, add{{Input|1=Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"}}<br />
If there is already a line with ''AccelMethod'', change it from XAA to EXA. Save the file and restart the X server.
Note that using EXA may result in some older applications, such as some KDE3 programs being rendered incorrectly.

前言

几种流行的显卡——特别是 NVIDIA 的——在 KDE 4 出现性能问题。这些性能问题主要涉及 Plasma - KDE 4 的桌面，和KWin- KDE 的窗口管理器。一般来说，不是因为没有优化 KDE 4 而是因为显卡驱动的问题。本页包含可能出现的问题和解决办法。

一般提示

显卡驱动程序

这两大显卡芯片制造商皆有不同的显卡驱动程序可以使用：

  • NVIDIA显卡有自由的nv和私有的nvidia驱动程序。虽然KDE4在前者同样运作的很好，但它不提供3D加速，因此后者可能是你唯一的选择。多数的NVIDIA小节仅指私有的驱动程序（还有一个第三方的自由驱动程序叫nouveau）。由于授权限制大多数发行版预设情况下不安装私有的驱动程序。请参阅您的发行版信息有关如何安装它。
    • Update 4: NVIDIA's 180.08 version of beta drivers out here; some performance problem were fixed. Also check here for the latest version of beta drivers.
    • Update 5: NVIDIA's 180.08 version of beta drivers out here; some performance problem were fixed. Also check here for the latest version of beta drivers.
  • AMD/ATI显卡你也有几个选择。有自由的｢ati｣和｢radeonhd｣驱动程序在 X.org（｢ati｣也称为｢radeon｣（没有｢hd｣），但我看过大多数的xorg驱动程序套件似乎把它称作｢ati｣）。大多数发行版似乎预设为｢ati｣，相容早期的 Radeons 显卡；｢RadeonHD｣，顾名思义，只支持 R500 和之后的显卡 - 零售型号为 X1300 和之后版本。基本上两者都可以正常运行在标准桌面，它们共享相同的 3D 程序代码在 mesa ，所以桌面效果应该是类似的（注意，R300之后的显卡3D支持被认为是不稳定，R600和之后版本是非常实验性的）。Nonetheless, if you have an X1300 or later card (i.e. one that should be supported by both drivers) and you run in to problems with one it may be worth trying out the other. You also have the option of trying the proprietary fglrx driver, though this has limited support for older cards - there's more on the AMD/ATI website about this option. Some distributions package this or have third party repos that package it and this is likely to be easier than downloading from AMD directly.

通常最好更新到已有改善措施的驱动程序。 因此，第一步改善您的 KDE 4 体验应该检查你的当前的驱动程序如果它已经过时就需要更新他。请参考您的发行版的文件，了解如何做到。

尽管可能进一步提高性能，但我不建议安装测试版质量的驱动程序，因为有可能影响您系统的稳定。

nvidia-settings

用nvidia-settings工具设置的参数不会永久保存，除非你 用root 权限。终端下面用 root 登录，

 :

nvidia-settings&

不然你每次重启X 都得重新设置一次。可以通过添加下列字段到你的 ~/.xinitrc 来轻松做到。

nvidia - 窗口黑掉问题

It seems that older NVidia cards run into the problem that newly opened windows just are drawn as black windows or do not refresh properly anymore. This happens if composite is activated and openGL is used with many windows opened. Maybe the cards are running out of video memory? (The problem does occur with the compiz window manager as well.) In KDE4 you can deactivate composite/effects with Shift + Alt + F12 to continue your work with the desktop normally.

The problem is that drawing of the window decorations does become very slow if no composite is activated (tested with KDE4.3). As alternative to using openGL as composite engine it is recommended to use XRender in this case. Because moving effects become very slow with XRender you should turn animation speed to instant.

系统设置

KDE4的 系统设置 提供您调整KWin设定。你可以在桌面 -> 桌面效果 -> 高级找到设定。根据您的显卡在OpenGL或XRender 运作的较好。使用 OpenGL 可能性能会比较好。请记住，下文提到一些修改可能会改变您的设定。

(Note from user): XRender mode helped A LOT on a 6800 GT (agp) with the proprietary driver, especially while looking at videos (177.80).

例如：

  • 设定InitialPixmapPlacement 为2可以提高 plasma 的性能，但有时可能使 KWin 挂掉。
  • OpenGL 模式设定为共享内存可以使KWin反应更快。

(note from a user)* Not selecting "Use Vsync" helped a lot in a gforce 6800 (and also on a GeForce 8400M GT).

如果由于某种原因点击对话框的应用按钮后你的 Xserver 挂掉，并且回复因为无法确认您的更改，再试一次。通常它随后会很快的再尝试。如果没有你仍然可以修改您的设定在~/.kde4/share/config/kwinrc。

XGL

If after installing the NVIDIA's 177.80 versions beta drivers you're still experiencing bad performance (especially on 8xxx-9xxx series) you can install XGL xserver. Please refer to your distribution's documentation on how to do that.

Note
XGL has *a lot* of issues regarding 3d applications, xvideo and keyboard layout but, with certain video cards, is now the unique way to enjoy KDE4 at full speed. XGL actually 'bypass' the nvidia driver using the mesa library to render the desktop. OpenGL-based desktop effects cannot be run on XGL.


Fedora 10（及更新） 与 xorg.conf（给某些用户）

本文中提到的一些微调是针对在大多数发行版都可找到的文件： 

 /etc/X11/xorg.conf

有些Fedora 10 用户可能会发现默认的情况下这个文件不存在（依赖于他们的显卡 - anyone with more details on this please feel free to elaborate），所以必须重新创建。请这样做：

GUI的方法:

  • 安装并执行'system-config-display'套件，完成后点击Ok，产生包含刚才设定的'xorg.conf'

不用GUI的方法:

  1. 打开指令提示符
  2. 通过执行指令(使用root)： init 1切换到runlevel 1
  3. 运行
    Xorg -configure
    用root运行'Xorg -configure'，完成后会产生'xorg.conf'档案或者用
    sudo Xorg -configure :1
    ，这样无需切换runlevel

问题

本节简要阐述了一些可能会遇到的症状，并试图解释可能的原因。

调整窗口大小时会卡卡的

  • 说明 : 这可能是由于您的显卡不完全支持 ARGB Visuals（基本半透明）。有关的应用程序和窗口有plasma桌面、krunner对话框（Alt + F2）、plasma的新增组件对话框或 konsole的窗口。
  • 测试 : 如果你要确定这就是你的问题，执行
    $ XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 konsole
    在指令列并尝试调整新开的konsole窗口大小（设定环境变量XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS关闭ARGB visuals）。如果重设大小没有问题，那么这就是您遇到的问题。

Your graphics card struggles with Flash video

If you have an older graphics card, hardware acceleration may be a struggle for it. This may be particularly obvious when watching flash videos such as Youtube videos. This may help:

  • While viewing a 'Flash' video right-click on the video 'screen'.
  • A menu will appear with 'settings' and 'check-boxes'.
  • If you choose the 'global settings' (near the bottom) it takes you a box for the 'global settings'.
  • There you can turn off hardware acceleration for Flash

常规

  • 您可以设定BackingStore选项在您的xorg.conf：

在 "Device"部分 

    ...
    Option "BackingStore" "true"
    ...
EndSection "Device"
这可以作用在一些（例如konsole）程序，但不幸的是并非所有的窗口有效。
  • 作为最后的手段，您可以尝试设定XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1在您的 ~/.xinitrc 但这并不漂亮。

NVIDIA

  • 您可以用nvidia-settings 程式设定IntialPixmapPlacement：:
    $ nvidia-settings -a InitialPixmapPlacement=2
    这可以作用在一些NVIDIA 显示卡（但不幸的是不是全部）。

NV/Intel

  • 您可以启用 EXA 加速

在 xorg.conf 的 "Device" 部分 

 ...
    Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"
# optional, may improve performance but introduce visible artifacts
# Option "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy"
    ...
EndSection "Device"

使用此选项的旧 X servers (<=1.4.2)性能会好些，新的 X servers (>=1.4.99.901)会有明显改善 。

  • 这个效能不彰的问题也可以使用 intel影像驱动程序 2.6.3.1（在我的基于deb发行版）或之后的版本，与kernel 2.6.30-rc1 或之后的版本，并在 xorg.conf 启用 UXA 类似这样：

注意：如果您使用 kernel 2.6.29，启用 UXA 扩展会有许多 bug 和随机的 xorg 冻结。 

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "Generic Video Card"
        Driver          "intel"
        Option "AccelMethod" "UXA"
EndSection

有了这个设定，我的 i945G 与 PentiumD820，在Glxgears 可以跑 350-500 FPS，和完美运行所有OpenGL渲染效果。

文件夹视图和其他部件渲染看起来相当糟糕

  • 说明 : 文件夹视图和其他一些plasmoid使用硬件加速渲染。有两种方法做到这一点，并且Plasma需要新的EXA方法。
  • 测试 : 这在文件夹视图组件最容易看到，会在屏幕上显示随意歪曲的区块。

开源的 Radeon 驱动

开源 Radeon 驱动默认使用的是 XAA 硬件加速的方法。所以你需要从 XAA（X Acceleration Architecture）更改 2D 加速方法，以使用较新的 EXA。由于这涉及到编辑您的 xorg.conf 文件，记住，这样的修改可能会损害您的系统。这一点需要您自担风险，如果你做错了，有可能导致 X 无法启动，所以先备份 xorg.conf 文件。

要更换，编辑你的 xorg.conf 文件。定位到设定显卡的 Device 部分。添加这行 

Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"

到 "EndSection" 这行之前。如果已经有一行是有 AccelMethod，那直接修改 XAA 成 EXA。保存文件并重启 X server。

Note that using EXA may result in some older applications, such as some KDE3 programs being rendered incorrectly.

When using EXA it is strongly recommended to use a recent X server, at least 1.6.x or even better the new 1.7 release -- perhaps best to wait for 1.7.1.

If you have an AGP-based card then you may also want to add the following line at the same location into the configuration file. 

Option "AccelDFS"    "true"

This should accelerate the driver even more, but may get you a hardlock when starting X. So be cautious with this option. See this article for more information on this topic.

Some things that may speed up any card's performance

The first one refers particularly to systems running KDE prior to 4.3.1 -

  • Try to avoid using many widgets on your desktop, particularly if they are of the dynamic updating type.
  • Turn off transparency/translucency, choosing themes that don't use it.
  • Use a theme with transparency, but change the configuration. Set the fade time to zero.
    • There are two ways to do this, both in the desktop-effects systemsettings dialog. One, on the General tab, set animation speed to Instant.
    • Two, on the All Effects tab, find translucency, configure it, and set fading duration to 0 to 10 or so. (The spinner increments are 100 ms, so the 10 ms suggestion is only a tenth of that.)

These hints won't turn an old graphics card into a fast one, but they will make Desktop Effects a feasibility on many older cards.

Desktop Effects causes random freezes

这似乎是受 Intel 和 ATi 显卡影响。AccelMethod 似乎是罪魁祸首。大部分驱动程序现在预设加速途径是已经过时和缓慢的 XAA(Option "AccelMethod" "XAA")。这是不建议的作法，特别是在组成(compositing)。 不幸的是，私有的 ATI 和 Nvidia 驱动仍然只支持 XAA。

ATi

尝试加入以下两行启用 EXA 加速 

Section "Device"
   Option      "UseAtomBIOS" "true"
   Option      "AccelMethod" "EXA"
   # ...
EndSection

这个方法可以用在两款驱动 radeon 以及 radeonhd，但显卡有最高只到 X1950 有效。HD2xxx 及以上尚未不支持。

AtomBIOS is automatically used by the radeon driver, so that line will need to be commented out. If you have the radeonhd driver, however, you will need it. EXA is expected to become the default in the near future, but having it specified here is unlikely to cause any problems even then. 3D and EXA support for HD2xxx and above is expected later this year (2009) as they are already in an experimental branch.

Intel

检查 Xorg.0.log 中是否有 EXA。如果你没有找到它（或 UXA）试着加入EXA 在 ATi section。UXA是一个实验性的选择，但只支持少数驱动。It's likely that the best bits will be merged into EXA soon.

Phoronix forums is a good place to read more about this.
