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.

@kode54 I asked someone else to build it and he also doesn't have this issue. Maybe try to build it in a clean chroot.

I guess this counts for the one project I can't rely on to build correctly if I don't rm -rf and re-clone it with every release.

Terence commented on 2019-05-06 05:45 (UTC)

@kode54 I don't get that with a fresh git clone and using makepkg.

I get this output on a fresh run in an old directory:

And this diff from Git afterward:

@kode54 Can you show me where it is and what it should be please?

kode54 commented on 2019-05-06 04:44 (UTC)

You keep updating this package with one digit lopped off the revision hash, so makepkg regenerates the version, and resets the revision number to 1.

@glorious-yellow if you are on Xorg, this patch can't have any impact, but please report any findings ;).

460 causes framedrops for me too, especially when many windows are open.

Edit: It may not be 460, but something has been causing framedrops for me recently. I will investigate further.

Terence commented on 2019-05-04 18:13 (UTC)

@deezid @ciupenhauer I don't see how !460 would cause framdrops.

ciupenhauer commented on 2019-05-04 12:10 (UTC)

confirm better performance without 460
