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/

@jc-aur Done, thanks for suggesting that.

@glorious-yellow I will see what I can do at next package update.

Hi Saren, thanks for your work. Side note: glorious-yellow is right.

I've just installed this patched mutter and i'm impressed. i can see animation that i've never seen!! (nvidia blob here) I was not aware that option buttons had a transition animation...

a curiosity: i've noticed a new little gap in shell theme (all themes, standard included) in the right upper corner. a screenshot: https://paste.pics/3WDN7

Is this for me only?

edit: wording

For "Geometric (GPU-less) picking", you can replace git cherry-pick with git merge vanvugt/geometric-picking; this will work even if the commit hashes have changed.

@Saren I'd rather prefer you pin the comment explaining about the bad revision issue, so everyone can see it and know how to fix it. I do appreciate the fast updates on mutter.

Saren commented on 2018-10-13 06:08 (UTC)

@ValentinRO See my comment below. I am considering disabling that patch until the commit hashes are stable.

Unfortunately I got a fatal error: fatal: bad revision 'ac031043'.

Is there any info needed to find a solution for this?

Saren commented on 2018-10-11 02:58 (UTC)

@Snuggle the commit "Geometric (GPU-less) picking" hashes are ever changing recently due the git rebases. If the package is not updated, edit PKGBUILD, replaced that 2 commit hashes to what you found in https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/189/commits

I'm getting: fatal: bad revision '73e8cf32'

@bobekmark that's weird, I installed it last night and after a reset, it kept working as expected for hours until I turned off my laptop, are you sure is related to this mutter package? Anyway, why don't you rollback to a previous version, don't you handle AUR packages on your own? If you don't and your tool doesn't allow you to do that, it's not AUR fault :)
