Severe input lag and crashes on Mutter 46.0, X11, NVIDIA
Description:
The Mutter update to 46.0 is causing quite a few problems for X11 users with NVIDIA cards. These failures can range from severe input lag to a complete system crash.
Other examples in the forum:
- Gnome terminal, very laggy
- Several crashes GNOME with NVIDIA cards
- Gnome 46 on X.Org crashes shortly after logging in
There are a few more, but I think these are the most relevant.
Additional info:
- package version(s): 46.0-2
- config and/or log files: n/a
- link to upstream bug report, if any: the upstream fix
Steps to reproduce:
- Install latest mutter and GNOME packages in a system with an NVIDIA card.
- Perform login.
- Try to use applications like Terminator or gnome-shell.
Fix
Apparently all these problems are corrected by applying the patch discussed in this merge request.
Would it be possible to apply the patch on the current package and release a new mutter-46.0-3
package?
