Intel ( 945 ) Graphics Card and Slow Compiz performance
Compiz historically hates Intel Graphic Cards, if you happen to be one of those ( Un ) Fortunate Intel Graphic card owners, And facing very slow performance.. Here is a trick which worked for me..
Rename the Original compiz binary ( normally in /usr/bin/compiz )
mv /usr/bin/compiz /usr/bin/compiz.orig
Create a shell script with the below contents and save the file as /usr/bin/compiz
vi /usr/bin/compiz and Add these lines…
#!/bin/bash
ARGS=$@
## Below command in a single line.
LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 INTEL_BATCH=1 /usr/bin/compiz.orig –replace –indirect-rendering -sm-disable ccp $ARGS &
Once saved.. Set an execuatble bit and restart Xorg
chmod +x /usr/bin/compiz
