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.

@Terence thanks for fast response. Creating an account on github and running the commands you wrote has helped! But i couldn't resolve my issues on Surface Pro 3 with stutters on animations.

@tannisroot @glorious-yellow thanks for the feedback, updated.

@Saren as a workaround for the workaround, add git config user.email "you@example.com" and git config user.name "Your Name" (without --global) into prepare()

Apparently, "Deliver events sooner" still does not work properly for some people. I suggest disabling it back for now.

If the build fails with *** Please tell me who you are. do the following:

$ git config --global user.email "you@example.com" 
$ git config --global user.name "Your Name"

This is due to a (hopefully) temporary workaround to automatically apply commits conflicting with 3.30 branch.

Sorry @Pumpi I read your message too quickly, it's indeed what @Saren told you to do, I hope you've been able to make it work...
