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.

A package for gnome-shell performance patches: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gnome-shell-performance/

@intelfx Yes. The patch file had been removed as it has been merged in gnome-46, but the comment was left alone.

See https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/commit/?h=mutter-performance&id=13116378d87dda89347d3ceefd53cf17c4b322c6

Is this expected as part of c7bebec312ed?

@saltyming It's not optional when including MR !3567, as that merge request depends on D-Bus changes in gnome-settings-daemon.

saltyming commented on 2024-07-02 10:11 (UTC)

@ewout I could probably add the package to the optional deps later.

ewout commented on 2024-07-02 10:07 (UTC)

@saltyming Including the xwayland scaling patch would also require depening on the gnome-settings-daemon-xwayland-scaling package

HydroH commented on 2024-07-02 09:57 (UTC)

@saltyming Thank you for your work! It works fine in my environment currently.

saltyming commented on 2024-07-02 09:34 (UTC)

@HydroH Added and enabled by default. I do not experience crashes with X11(xwayland) clients yet without enabling the specific option. The option needs to be tested on your side.

Hi, could you please include https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/3567 to the package? It provides native scaling support for xwayland. Here is a standalone patch for reference: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mutter-xwayland-scaling. However it depends on a patched version of gnome-settings-daemon to work, so maybe not enable it by default?

@b-fg You need to rebuild the aur package. I had upgraded this package after libdisplay was updated, but you ended up with a partial upgrade.

JockeTF commented on 2024-06-26 17:03 (UTC)

@NGStaph told me about the crash, which can be fixed by rebuilding this package. Arch's mutter package was also affected. We just wouldn't have noticed it there because a rebuilt version of mutter (46.2-3) was released at the same time as the backwards incompatible update to libdisplay-info (0.2.0-1).
