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/

Currently, f5a1ec1c is reported as a bad revision. Also, the rt-scheduler option doesn't appear to have any effect. As shown below, neither the main process nor any of its threads are using the RR scheduling class.

@Terence Cheers, and I now see where I went wrong too.

Terence commented on 2019-04-04 02:38 (UTC)

@flomax Thanks for reporting, it should be fixed.

Getting fatal: bad revision '14a27e87^..a40d7927'

Replacing a40d7927 with 6474593e or 966e062d did not fix, but build completes once whole line is commented out.

Terence commented on 2019-03-31 01:19 (UTC)

@Saren oups my bad! Updated so it doesn't apply by default.

Saren commented on 2019-03-30 14:09 (UTC)

@Terence Did you mean without _revert=0? _revert=0 still applies the patch I guess.

Terence commented on 2019-03-30 11:03 (UTC)

Thanks @ciupenhauer and @deezid for the heads-up, updated. @Saren this should render the commit revert useless. Can you try again with _revert=0 and report back?

deezid commented on 2019-03-28 20:08 (UTC)

@clupenhauer. That's what I thought. Skip the first !281 commit. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=789186#c18

  # clutter-stage-cogl: Reduce output latency and reduce missed frames too [performance]
  # first commit replaced by !363
  # https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/281
  git cherry-pick -n 186f16f8

  # Consolidate all frame throttling into clutter-stage-cogl [performance]
  # https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/363
  git cherry-pick -n 577084a4^..c71e6523

ciupenhauer commented on 2019-03-28 20:05 (UTC)

According to Daniel van Vugt: "Also note the second commit of https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/363 provides a fix for this bug too. It replaces the first commit of https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/281"

Does that mean we can safely switch off patch 281 and use only 363?

@Saren, Aha, thank you for the info.
