Full Desktop > Desktop in performance and features #38
Description
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. In KDE (or any other Window Manager/DE that will support the "Full Desktop"
as a source, select Full Desktop.
2. Output: 720x480
3. Observe
4. Remove the "Full Desktop" source, add the "Desktop" source.
5. Output: 720x480, Change the "Positition" width/height to match the full
desktop resolution (1440x900 in my case)
6. Observe. The windows stutter, performance is bad, and composited
applications are not shown as compositing.
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
When using "Full Desktop", performance is great and transparency/compositing is
recorded.
When using "Desktop", performance is not good, and transparency/compositing
isn't recorded.
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
.57beta2
Arch Linux 64bit
Please provide any additional information below.
"Full Desktop" does not work in Openbox or Compiz-standalone. I'm not sure why
this is. It works fine in KDE though. Instead, I tried using the "Desktop"
source and resizing it to broadcast my entire desktop. The performance is just
too poor and compositing is left out.
