Xorg/radeon/i3 lagging when moving between monitors

Hello, I just did a fresh install of Arch on my desktop, and I'm trying to get triple monitors working. My setup is:
1 x DVI-D on R9 280X (primary display = DVI-1)
2 x DVI-D on HD 5770 (left display = DVI-1-2, right display = DVI-1-1)
All monitors are identical 2560x1440 (QNIX QX2710) monitors. I'm using the open source drivers (radeon) drivers, and testing this on i3 (the WM i plan to use). I tried doing this with cinnamon, however I could only get 2 screens going at once, primary and another on the 5770.
in order to get all the monitors enabled, once i3 starts up i open a terminal and run:
xrandr --setprovideroutputsource 1 0 && xrandr --output DVI-1-2 --preferred --left-of DVI-1 --output DVI-1-1 --preferred --right-of DVI-1
This line enables all monitors, which I thought meant it was good. However, it lags. Specifically, it lags when moving mouse from center screen to either of the side ones. It completely locks up for 3-5 seconds, but then it catches up. However, it doesn't seem to lag when I move from one of the side displays to the center.
xrandr doesn't see the monitors until i run --setprovideroutputsource, and it seems to crash my xorg if I setup right screen, then the left screen.
I read online that trying to force accelmethod to exa in xorg.conf.d/ might fix it, however that didn't work. Otherwise, I've read again online that glamor is the cause of this issue. What should I do if that's the case?

Hi ,
I am having the same issue as your reported, but I am on different hardware, so I suspect it is an issue with something else. I think these posts are similar so watch them:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=139193
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=140572
The system I am having an issue with was built via a derivative of ArchISO scripts and installed onto a machine. I don't believe that alone is the issue, but initially I did think it was something wrong with my scripts / configuration. I merged my /etc of a working system with the one in question and it still does not work.
I looked very briefly at the Xorg logs and noticed that it wants to autodetect input devices, perhaps that could be an issue. The other oddity I noticed is that I still cannot use slim / xfce. Initially I built the system to primarily use that window manager to save resources, but even after unplugging devices and logging in, I would get booted back out.
I will look into Xorg to see if there were any changes with auto-detection as well as udev. Perhaps one of those things is causing an issue.

Running Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 is sluggish when moving between pictures on new iMac.

Running Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 is sluggish when moving between pictures on new iMac. I have a standard 21" iMac with 8 gb of RAM, but it still sticks for up to 30 seconds when switching pictures in organizer or other functions. How can I get it more responsive?

How large is your HD & how much space do you have left? Make sure you are using the latest version of APE.
You should also contact Adobe Support and/or post in the Adobe Forums since it's their product.

HT4930 My mouse suddenly started lagging when moving up and down. Left and Right seem to move fine. Waht's wrong?

My mouse has suddenly started lagging when moving up and down. Left and right movement seems fine. in fact, it's perfect. I tried changing the tracking speed to no avail. it sped up the left and right movement, but "up and down" still remain sketchy. HELP!!

Hi Torrence,
You may have to suffer until you can get to your local artist's products store. There you should be able to buy square metres of fine matt black felt (maybe in a shop selling materials too). This makes an excellent and inexpensive base that looks good too. Have used it for years.
Lay it on your desk and hold it in position with some double sided sticky tape.

[SOLVED] Windows lag when moved...?

Using Xfce, with and without composite, the windows lag when being moved. It's like the whole window isn't held together properly; the window movement is kind of choppy, but still smooth, if that makes any sense.
This makes for a rather bad experience. And I'm clueless as to what causes this. It's certainly not my HW:
CPU: i5-2500k
GPU: GTX 460
RAM: 8GB, 1600mhz
Also, even more disturbing, is that when moving a window there seems, if you look closely enough, to be a white after-effect where text and the pointer was a few moments ago. As an example: If I grab a window and move it in a small circle, this happens.
Any ideas? Running nuts here...

Okay I'll try but I can't guarantee the completeness. Here are all the steps I managed to recollect:
First install:
compiz, compiz-decorator-gtk, ccsm, compiz-fusion-plugins-main
the decorator and plugins are somewhat optional but will provide you with gtk window borders and more options.
then edit the following paragraph in /etc/xdg/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-session.xml
<property name="Client0_Command" type="array">
<value type="string" value="compiz"/>
<value type="string" value="ccp"/>
</property>
(This replaces xfwm4 with compiz as the default window manager for Xfce)
Then after running
sudo nvidia-xconfig
add the following line to the "Device" section within /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Option "TripleBuffer" "True"
also add
nvidia-settings -l
to your autostart.
Now open up ccsm and within "General Options" on the tab "Display Settings":
tick the option for "Sync to VBlank"
UNtick the option "Detect refresh rate"
drag the slider for the refresh rate to match the refresh rate of your display (60 Hz in my case)
Go back to the main page of ccsm and open "Window decoration". Insert the following line into the "command" field:
gtk-window-decorator --replace
(This will provide you with your gtk borders on compiz otherwise you would have to use emerald)
On the main page of ccsm tick "Move windows" under "Window Management". (Otherwise you won't be able to move windows around at all)
Restart your system and it should load compiz now. If compiz is acting funny you can always temporarily switch back to xfwm by running "xfwm4 --replace".
Note that you will have the best video experience with mplayer (no GUI).
Consider using vdpau as video output with the corresponding codecs if you don't plan to play 10bit H264 videos, otherwise stick to xv.

802.1X Authentication issues when moving between switch ports

Hi Guys,
We are having some issues at our office where when users move from one switch to another, the 802.1X authentication does not want to take place. The PC just gets an APIPA address. Now I have read about features that MAC Move and MAC replace but they seem to be used when moving from one port a switch to another port on that same switch. Will MAC move help for issues between switches? And should I focus my attention on the switch's configuration or have a look at the NPS server that might be blocking that authentication as the user is already authenticated?
My configuration we have on the switch ports look as follows:
authentication host-mode multi-domain
authentication order dot1x mab
authentication priority dot1x mab
authentication port-control auto

Your help is greatly appreciated.

FCE freezes when moving between clips! Help?

Not with all transitions, but with some, sometimes even moving between clips from the same batch of film(!) FCE will stop playing through in the timeline, sound will jerk to a halt, and I'll then see what I call the "Colorful wheel of death" as FCE tries to deal with it and stops responding, making me Force Quit, which is a Jedi ability I now have much use in, btw... I have tried to Trash Prefs but still no good, and as I am fairly new to this software, with less than a year's experience, I need help!
I have three major projects to do before year's end!
What do I do?

First be sure you've correctly trashed your preferences. Follow the advice here: http://www.fcpbook.com/Misc1.html
Be sure everything is rendered before you playback. Be sure none of the windows (particularly Canvas) are overlapping.
Move your RT playback quality to low.
Sometimes it helps to reduce the opacity of an offending clip to 99% (via the motion tab in the viewer)before playing your sequence in the timeline. I can't explain why this works but its saved me alot.

Issue when moving between screens

Hi All,
Since we started working with Siebel 8.1 in SI we started having an unexpected behaviour when moving to another screen. Basically, when we log in Siebel PRM, we go to "Contact Screen Homepage View (SCW)" and search button is modified to go the Contact/ Opportunities view.
But if we don't want to work with contacts and try to go to another Screen ("Home Page", "Opportunity" or "Messages") instead of showing the selected screen Siebel goes to the Contact/Opportunities of the first contact found.
In case we search for a contact, go to another screen from the Contact/ Opportunities view and try to go to another screen the application works as expected.
Did anybody have the same issue? Do you knwo what can be happening?
thanks!

Lost emails when moving between mailboxes

Hello all
I encountered a huge problem today when sorting out some of my mail.
I'm currently running Mavericks and have several accounts set up on the Mail application - these include an Exchange account, and a Gmail (Google IMAP) account.
My Exchange account is expected to expire soon, and so I decided to drag-and-drop mail items from the Exchange mailbox to the Gmail mailbox. This appears to have worked flawlessly for all Sent items from the Exchange account - all sent items have been moved and I can now find the items on the Gmail web interface as well as through the Mail application, and as a result, the Sent items folder is empty on the Exchange account.
I repeated the process for all Inbox items, but it seems to have failed drastically! I cannot seem to locate the inbox items from neither the Gmail web interface nor the Mail application, and worse yet, the Inbox items folder is now empty on the Exchange account. I logged in to the Outlook web interface to see if perhaps the Exchange Inbox items would still be there, and oddly enough there are 13 messages there (the inbox previously contained hundreds of Inbox items) - so there is also some disconcordance between Exchange on the Mail application and on the Outlook web interface.
I'm quite confused as to how the drag-and-drop process appears to have worked well for the Sent items from Exchange to Gmail, but so poorly for the Inbox items. I'm not too happy with the fact that I seem to have lost nearly all of my Inbox items. I have checked the Mail 'Activity' window in the hope that maybe some sort of process was stuck - thus explaining this error, but there's currently no activity.
Thank you for taking the time to read this. I would really appreciate anyone's help in resolving this matter/finding the mail items that appear to have gone missing.

Dear Eric,
Apologies for the very late reply - I just thought I'd provide an update on my experiences.
From what I recall, neither rebuilding nor reindexing my mailboxes helped to recover the emails that were lost after dragging-and-dropping from the Exchange mailbox to the Gmail mailbox. However, after reading your reply to WilliamCWL, I explored the 'V2' folder from a Time Machine backup (one that was made not too long before I posted this thread) and found the Exchange mailbox. From there, I located and gathered the Exchange Inbox 'emlx' mail files, which I then converted to 'mbox' format, using a tool that I found online. I then imported the 'mbox' format file into Mail, and from Mail I was able to drag-and-drop the Exchange Inbox emails to the Gmail Mailbox!
Many thanks for your assistance in this matter Eric, it's much appreciated.
@ WilliamCWL - I hope that you were able to resolve your problem.
Regards

Flash CS3: Serious lag when Switching between Applications

I've got a serious problem with Flash CS 3 on my Macbook Pro,
which makes it almost unworkable.
When I'm working in flash, switch to another application
(Mail, Illustrator, any...) and then switch back to flash. the
program freezes for at least 9 to 10 seconds: The Menu's are all
transparant and greyed out, and the only thing I see is the beloved
"beachball" spinning.
Needless to say that this makes it very hard to work with the
program, since switching between apps is a big part of my workflow.
Is anyone experiencing the same problem?
I have re-installed the whole CS3 suite (twice) and even
cleaned up my computer and did a clean install of OS X!!
I'm running on a 15" mac book pro (2,33) with 2gig memory,
bought last may.
Any help is welcome,

I'm having the same problem as well. I was using Flash 8,
thought I would upgrade to Flash CS3 and solve the problem but that
was no good. There's still a long lag time when switching to Flash
from any other program. Not sure if it's a Memory problem or a Font
problem. Any word on a solution for this annoying problem?
I'm running a PowerPC G5 with dual 2.0ghz processors and 2.5
GB of ram.
Thanks!

How to stop firefox launching a second browser when moving between tabs,

I almost always have multiple tabs open in firefox and intermittently when I move back to a tabbed window rather than opening that window in my current browser firefox will launch a new (second) browser and open my old tab here - closing down the tab in the first browser.
I move between tabs by clicking on the tab and most of the time it will open the tab but doing exactly the same thing will intermittently launch this second browser.
All other functions with firefox are operating normally

Firefox 3.5 versions and later have a feature called tear-off tabs.<br />
You can detach a tab from the current window and open it in a new window by dragging a tab in the browser window.<br />
You can drag that tab back to the tab bar in the original window to undo that detaching.

SWF flickers/flashes when moving between pages

IDCS4 export to SWF with page transitions. Not sure if anyone else is having this problem, but when I navigate between pages, the interactive items/buttons seem to flash or flicker once after each transition.
Does anyone know how to resolve? I'm building a small booklet in IDCS4. Nothing fancy about it, just a few pages that I want the viewer to be able to navigate through. The flickering is driving me nuts and I can't seem to figure out why it's happening. I've tried just about every setting, searched the net and have found nothing on the subject.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Mark

Happens with all transitions. Seems to be a bug and I've sent my notes to Adobe. Other posting can be found
here.
Hopefully they'll fix it in the future, 'cause it's a great feature.

Problem when moving between pages

Hi all,
I have buit an interface in Flash Catalyst and imported it into FB to modify a few little things. However, when I run the application and move between the "pages" I built in Catalyst, I noticed that the pages dont reset at the top. By this I mean: if I scroll down a long page and click a "next" button, the following page wont begin at the top, it will display at the point where I scrolled to on the previous page.
Is there a way to make a resulting page start at the top like it would if it were HTML?
Thanks in advance!

Heya!
Thanks for the reply...!
When i import the fxp file in to FB the pages are already built. How would I go about putting the pages in a scroller (since catalyst doesnt already do it)?
I can drag out the Scroller component, but it doesn seem as if I can build anything in it. Sorry... I am quite new to this.
I made a quick little example and pasted the code below. Would I be able to modify this in some way?
Thanks again for your assistance... it is much appreciated!

OA Query Region shows previous search results when moving between pages

Hello All,
I have a custom OA Page which has a query region based on a LOV for searching device names. The problem I am facing is once device name is searched and I go to another page through the quick links and come back to same Search Device page, it shows the previous searched results. I am not retaining AM for any page navigation.
Things I have already tried :
1 . I have tried refreshing VO by using clearcache and reset methods on VO.
2. Get the Go button from the query region in ProcessFormRequest and on Go button click I use forwardImmediatelyToCurrentPage. And in Process Request method I am querying the results manually when Go button is clicked. Otherwise I am manually making the where clause condition 1=2 and ensuring that the VO does not return any rows.
But still I am not able to get rid of the issue.
The code used is pasted below for your reference. It is urgent. Can you please provide any pointers.
public void processRequest(OAPageContext pageContext, OAWebBean webBean)
super.processRequest(pageContext, webBean);
try
VpaAdminAMImpl am = (VpaAdminAMImpl)pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean);
TkvpaDeviceSearchVOImpl deviceAll = am.getTkvpaDeviceSearchVO1();
deviceAll.clearCache();
deviceAll.reset();
deviceAll.setWhereClause("1=2");
deviceAll.setWhereClauseParams(null);
String query = deviceAll.getQuery();
System.out.println("getSearchResult query :="+query);
deviceAll.executeQuery();
OAQueryBean queryBean = (OAQueryBean)webBean.findChildRecursive("region1");
String goAction = queryBean.getGoButtonName();
if(pageContext.getParameter(goAction) != null)
getSearchResult(am, pageContext, webBean);
catch(Exception ex)
throwException("SearchDeviceCO.processRequest",ex);
public void processFormRequest(OAPageContext pageContext, OAWebBean webBean)
super.processFormRequest(pageContext, webBean);
String action = pageContext.getParameter(EVENT_PARAM);
OAQueryBean queryBean = (OAQueryBean)webBean.findChildRecursive("region1");
String Go = queryBean.getGoButtonName();
System.out.println(pageContext.getParameter(Go));
if(pageContext.getParameter(Go) != null)
pageContext.forwardImmediatelyToCurrentPage(null,false,"N");
public void getSearchResult(VpaAdminAMImpl am, OAPageContext pageContext, OAWebBean webBean)
try
String device = pageContext.getParameter("deviceSearch");
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
if(device != null && device != "")
sb.append(" DEVICE_NAME = '");
sb.append(device);
sb.append("'");
String sql = sb.toString();
TkvpaDeviceSearchVOImpl deviceAll = am.getTkvpaDeviceSearchVO1();
deviceAll.setWhereClause(sql);
deviceAll.setWhereClauseParams(null);
String query = deviceAll.getQuery();
System.out.println("getSearchResult query :="+query);
deviceAll.executeQuery();
}catch(Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
Thanks in Advance,
Abhishek Mishra

Hi Anand,
The getSearchResult method also does the same thing. I have also tried to remove the dependency on getSearchResult and wrote the same code in ProcessRequest() but still it does not solve the problem.
In fact, I have ensured that the VO does not contain any records and have checked these by using SOPs and debug in JDEV. The interesting point is the VO does not have any records but still the previous search data and search criteria is shown when we navigate to the page. Printed the query just before performing execute query and that query does not return any records. Also tried printing something if there are any records in the VO by using vo.hasNext().
Data gets stored somewhere and it is shown when the page is navigated from other page. FYI, this page is accessed from quick links and there are other pages also in the quick links and when we navigate between these pages we get to see the previous search results. Tried methods clearCache(), reset() on VOs but still unsuccessful.
Not even that I thought that the VO may be corrupted in some sense so I created a new VO instance in the AM and then used newly created VO instance in the query region. But still no luck.
Any pointers will be appreciated.
Thanks in Advance,
Abhishek

Columns Switching Position when Moving Between Mailboxes

I organize my mail with the "From" column first. I have done so since I first began using Mail. I find and recognize e-mail by sender. Lately whenever I switch to a mailbox that does not have the From column (or in which I do not need to see the From column), like Sent and drafts and then return to the Inbox, the From column is automatically moved to the end of my column views. Moving it back does no good as it relocates again the next time I look at a mailbox without it. I tried re-setting it, then quitting to preserve the settings, but one trip to Sent mail and the column relocates.
This is NEW behavior and if you ask me, buggy behavior. I count on my mail view being the way I left it last. Consistency is very important when you manage a lot of e-mail and this is definitely inconsistent and inconvenient.
Any ideas as to the problem?

Try going to the affected mailbox and then to the View menu.
Uncheck all boxes and the message will move to the left column.
Check the desired setting for the first column.
The column will show to the right of the message list.
Drag the subject heading to the right.
Now Quit mail.
This should save the preference.
Reopen mail and check.
If it doesn't work then create a new user in system preferences and set up your mail in the new user.
Test in the new user.
If it works in the new user move the com.apple.mail.plist from the user Library into the affected user and replace the plist with the one that works.
If it doesn't work in a new user either then you have a system wide issue.
That would require reinstalling Mail or the operating system.
If a reinstall is necessary use disk utility to determine if the system has any underlying problems first.
Go to disk utility and Verify Disk.
If it passes then pull the Mail program and reinstall it using the Optional Installs package on Install Disk 1.
Then download and install the 10.4.10 Combo update for intel from the Apple site.

Audio problems when moving between chapters

My movie consists of imported video from my camera. I have a two songs playing over the video - one at the beginning of the first chapter and one at the beginning of the last chapter. When I play the movie straight through, the audio works perfectly fine. When I skip between chapters the two with songs play correctly. However the chapters that have the original audio are distorted - the video seems to pause or stall out and the audio doesn't play for several seconds. Does anyone know what my problem might be and how to fix it?

SteveG, I don't believe it is an 1820m issue at all. Do you have a single or multi-core processor? This behavior did not occur on my old P4 3GHz system. I only started observing it when I built this quad core system about a month ago.
By the way, today I replaced my mobo with one of the same brand and model and the behavior still exists (to rule out a defective mobo.) I've also tried 3 different video cards (although they were all NVIDIA) and the problem remains no matter which card I use.
Durin,
As I was typing the first post, I verified that I was using the Emu 1820m ASIO driver in both Edit and Multitrack views. (As I was writing it, it crossed my mind that I might have it set to something else in one mode.) However, it is the same in both.
One thing I forgot to mention is that there is one more app that behaves similarly (Reaper). All other apps (Sonar, FL Studio, eXT, Ableton Live, Sound Forge, Wavosaur) do not show this behavior and are rock solid.
If you'd like to see my thread about this behavior in Reaper (and others who can reproduce it) see here: http://www.cockos.com/forum/showthread.php?t=19036
I believe Sonar, FL Studio, eXT, Ableton Live, Sound Forge, Wavosaur, etc.. are doing something properly when playing back audio and/or initializing plugins that Adobe Audition and Reaper are failing to do properly with certain hardware configurations.
