Greetings everyone!
Here's an interesting one... When I run any apps on Xorg, at seemingly random times they stutter or 'hiccup'. This is both with the graphic display and sound (Caja, terminal, Firefox, mpv, etc). Here's the interesting part -- if I run
I did a non-scientific comparison, playing a YouTube video in Firefox with, and without,
Does anyone have a clue what could be causing this? It almost sounds like some sort of power-savings or CPU frequency stepping, but I haven't enabled any of that explicitly.
Thanks!

Here's an interesting one... When I run any apps on Xorg, at seemingly random times they stutter or 'hiccup'. This is both with the graphic display and sound (Caja, terminal, Firefox, mpv, etc). Here's the interesting part -- if I run
glxgears
in a tiny window in the corner of my display, the stuttering or hiccuping vanishes. ( glxgears
does not appear to be in Packages, so I had to hunt it down and compile it after some updating to the older build settings.). I tried this glxgears
test because I saw a similar hiccup issue when running OpenIndiana on another machine (with different graphics card) and glxgears
stopped it there, too.I did a non-scientific comparison, playing a YouTube video in Firefox with, and without,
glxgears
running. Every time I played the video without glxgears
running, the video would stutter or hiccup, but when glxgears
was running, there were zero issues.Does anyone have a clue what could be causing this? It almost sounds like some sort of power-savings or CPU frequency stepping, but I haven't enabled any of that explicitly.
