toonloop is way too slow on GM965/GL960 Intel video cards #5

Closed spiette closed 13 years ago

How to reproduce (on an Intel 96x chipset video card): 1) Get the .deb or compile the latest git source 2) Install toonloop -v 3) Cry to see lower than 1fps and have an unusable nice piece of software

What's expected: 30fps on any recent hardware

Which camera are you using? Try increasing the lighting, so that the frame rate might increase as well.

You could try the Clutter toys or some Clutter games to compare the performance. Since Toonloop 2.0 doesn't use any shader yet, I think it's probably not the video card that is the culprit.

Ah, libclutter is the culprit. Found out that using export CLUTTER_VBLANK=none will work. Bug described here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/clutter-1.0/+bug/572465

Now I can make faces! : )
