you sure you have all graphics drivers installed? i don't know if the linux kernel bundles ATI drivers with it.

[gfhdhytghd]

I use archinstall to install the system and choose the "ATI/AMD" choice, and KDE plasm wayland run well on my computer

[MightyPlaza]

you probably need to use mesa-amber and compile hyprland with legacy render

[gfhdhytghd]

after swich to hyprland-legacyrender, the problem fixed!

[gfhdhytghd]

Humm it is running but with some render problem

[MightyPlaza]

iirc there might be some rendering issues when using legacy render (https://wiki.hyprland.org/Getting-Started/Installation/#custom-installation-legacy-renderer-etc)

[gfhdhytghd]

It is something like, when I am in a clean workspace, everything work well,all animations(wofi and mako) work on full frame, but if I open any window(kate,Vivaldi,konsole,dolphin,etc), the global fps suddenly drop to about ten, even just moving mouse is very stuck, and when I switch to another clean workspace, everything work well again,also there are some black square flashing on some app like thunar and konsole.

[MightyPlaza]

please provide more system information: cpu, gpu, ram, vram, and their usage while using hyprland

[gfhdhytghd]

T5500,ATI x1300,3gb ddr2, 120g hdd,no vram

when using Hyprland with a konsole open but no command running, cpu 5%, ram 30% HDD 1%, unable to see gpu usage but I promise it is not run in full speed, and the fps is low

[gfhdhytghd]

Full fps when the same scene happened in plasma

[MightyPlaza]

1) https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/radeon-x1300.c947 256MB of vram 2) use nvtop for gpu usage 3) get a newer version of hyprland for better performance 4) maybe turn blur off or the number of passes down if the gpu is struggling

[gfhdhytghd]

Sorry I miss understand what vram is, I thought that was swap

nvtop:No GPU to monitor

version is newest

blur was already off

[MightyPlaza]

0.28.0 is newest arch repo hasn't been updated for some reason

nvtop:No GPU to monitor

this probably means gpu isn't working properly like I said above it's likely you need to use mesa-amber instead of mesa due to the gpu's age

[gfhdhytghd]

If I switch to mesa-amber, hyprland will just stop working

[gfhdhytghd]

I will try build the version 28

[MightyPlaza]

what's the output of glxinfo | grep "OpenGL" also does hyprland give any errors on mesa-amber?

Kernel driver in use: radeon

you're using a driver that's provided by mesa amber https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/OpenGL

[gfhdhytghd]

thanks let me check

[gfhdhytghd]

I have checked, that is just a tag but not what you are exactly using, even you are using a modern and gpu it may also shown as readon

[gfhdhytghd]

The gpu driver is installed by arch install and it work well in KDE plasma so I don’t think it is the problem of driver

[MightyPlaza]

what happens when you use mesa-amber and run nvtop in the tty, does the gpu appear?

[gfhdhytghd]

i searched for something, however nvtop only work for NVIDIA GPU, I will use radeontop

[gfhdhytghd]

I think I found the problem, after I shut down swww, everything goes smoothly

[MightyPlaza]

nvtop is not just for nvidia, not sure if radeontop will work on older gpu's

[gfhdhytghd]

I think I found the real problem, I need to shut down all the “shadow” things

[gfhdhytghd]

Also the border rander cause some performance problem,mainly about gradient color, any kind of gradient or transparent cause problem

[gfhdhytghd]

I would like to know how could I disable the color change gradually of the active window border and the inactive border

[gfhdhytghd]

Ok I found it

[MightyPlaza]

why is this open?

[gfhdhytghd]

I fogot to close it
