I installed xfce 4.6.1 on FreeBSD x64_8.0 and the windows are being redrawn very slowly when moving or scrolling. The CPU usage is really high when doing something with the windows.
I found something that this could have with the option "composite extension" from the xfce faq and gentoohttp://wiki.xfce.org/faq http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-5741372.html?sid=a67fd294952582d65c73199582f201c9, so I disabled it in xorg.conf.
Unfortunately there were no changes.
I read that the radeonhd driver was slowhttp://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2009-December/209048.html should I switch driver?
Here are relevant parts of my xorg.conf
I used xmonad before and there were no such problems except that xmonad somehow crashed or locked. Then again with a tiling manager you don't move the windows and with my xmonad there was no fancy graphics.
