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.

@intelfx It builds fine here. mr1441 includes mr3912 and mr3934, so you should not use both at the same time.

The mr3934.patch seems to break build.

@glorious-yellow Done.

Can this be added?

The pkgver is 1 letter too long and gets truncated after building, causing the built pkgver fail to match remote source.

saltyming commented on 2024-07-04 12:19 (UTC)

@FuelFlo Merged in gnome-46 and included in 46.3.1

@HydroH Done. Thanks.

@saltyming Hi, an additional commit needs to be included for MR3567 to fix clickthrough problems: https://gitlab.gnome.org/HydroH/mutter/-/commit/ab8433ded049e946e806171d0bea0b324d4c05c4

FuelFlo commented on 2024-07-04 07:45 (UTC) (edited on 2024-07-04 07:46 (UTC) by FuelFlo)

Any chance to merge !3862? Which should fix new windows not showing up until you go in overview or window switcher, since 46.3.

@saltyming Oh, I see now, thanks.

@ewout The display configuration API isn't getting removed with the MR. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-settings-daemon/-/merge_requests/353 just makes use of new exposed mutter API for scaling instead of display API for X11 scaling mode. I tried using scaling setting without installing gnome-settings-daemon-xwayland-scaling and it worked fine.

edit: I just saw legacy display scaling api was removed in https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/3567/diffs?commit_id=b1a9daa971d60660ae2bb21d5ce0a2a82c54c5d2 .

edit2: Fixed in 1:46.3-3
