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.)

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.

@Saren Could you please give a quick tl;dr on what you mean by performance bits? Thanks for the package!

Fantastic, thank you!

Maybe its good idea to bump commit to atleast 8286557a0555058440536e88393fda445d49d399

Updated to 3.28. revert.patch is back and I updated the code surrounding to the patch. Luckily it works. Also added dependency for 'gnome-shell>=3.28' 'gnome-shell<3.29' to prevent future GNOME breakage like I had.

Maybe temporarily but returned to patch instead git revert.

I got gnome 3.28.0 from "testing" now, but no update to this package. I tried modifying the PKGBUILD to make it build from 3.28 commit, but the revert didn't apply cleanly:

error: could not revert 383ba566b... Call cogl_xlib_renderer_set_threaded_swap_wait_enabled()

With diff:

++<<<<<<< HEAD + / XInitThreads() is needed to use the "threaded swap wait" functionality + * in Cogl - see meta_renderer_x11_create_cogl_renderer(). We call it here + * to hopefully call it before any other use of XLib. + / + XInitThreads(); ++======= + clutter_x11_request_reset_on_video_memory_purge (); ++>>>>>>> parent of 383ba566b... Call cogl_xlib_renderer_set_threaded_swap_wait_enabled()

It seems there has been new changes to the patch we want reverted, however my performance using the official mutter is crap again so it doesn't seem to fix it. There might be a resolution to the conflict that ends up with a correct state, but I haven't looked hard enough at the code to say yet.

And even if it was possible, I'm not sure how to resolve this in PKGBUILD yet, or how to make it use my locally created patch either.

Instead, I'll just post my progress here. ;)

Ideally this would be solved properly, either in mutter, gnome-shell or the nvidia driver, whichever is the culprit.

I can not compile:

And thank you so much for this package by the way ^_^
