If you have a problem during any system update with mutter-performance & gnome-shell-performance, please install mutter & gnome-shell packages from the main repository and do full upgrade first, then build the performance packages later.

If you are using [gnome-unstable] and [extra-testing] repositories, use mutter-performance-unstable

The default patch list includes "Dynamic triple buffering(!1441)", "text-input-v1(!3751)".

Latest Dynamic triple buffering patch has several included MRs from the main development branch to achieve maximum performance.

To enable a specific MR in the Merge Requests List, add an line "_merge_requests_to_use+=('<MR number>')" at the end of PKGBUILD. (Because if you edit the line directly you can be able to end up with merge conflict upon updates.)

You can see some patches' git history here: https://git.saltyming.net/sungmg/mutter-performance-source/

If you are getting errors like fatal: bad revision '73e8cf32' while building this package, refer to PKGBUILD and see which patches caused this. Then, go to the related URLs, replace the commit hashes. If there are conflicts, comment out the patches.

Please notify me in comment section if this happens.

The optional performance patches are by default enabled.

Does this patch still work on X11/Intel ? For me, on Wayland - silky smooth but X11 is stuttery :-(

Thanks in advance!

@allexj It depends on performance of your machine.

This package does not help fixing the animation lag (reported here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/3760 )

@gandalfmagic Done.

Hi, this update (42.0+r93+g5e5480e62-1) breaks the mouse cursor on some configurations (mostly nvidia with wayland gbm it seems).

Here is the issue on the bug-tracker: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/2250

This MR should solve the problem: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/2397

Thank you

@kal I think it's because gnome itself is getting faster than before. It still boosts performance in my low-spec machine.

You can also try gnome-shell-performance to see if this works for you too.

kal commented on 2022-05-03 14:33 (UTC)

First of all thanks so much guys for your work on this package it makes such a difference day-to-day!

Anyway, after upgrading to Gnome 42, mutter-performance appears to build and install fine. However, in use, it seems to make no difference?! Under Gnome 41, silky smooth but with Gnome 42 it's almost as if the patch is not being applied at all - strange.

Do you think I am doing something wrong? Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

@laurentrepond Reboot the machine and try building the package again.

Or add --nocheck option when building the package.

The package build gets stuck on "[1168/1173] Linking target src/tests/mutter-monitor-unit"

Does anyone has the same issue?
