Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 11541
Full screen slow as a dog
Last modified: 2013-08-07 15:21:02 UTC
OOI fails to use OpenGL acceleration correctly. A full screen presentation at 1600x1200 runs at about 1-2 FPS.
Set to new.
Reassigned to Christian.
Please attach a test document to reproduce the bug.
I change the target.
I tried to attach a OOI presentation but apparently application/vnd.sun.xml.impress is not recognized as a valid type. Do I file that as a bug someplace else? What MIME type should I use when attaching OO documents? At any rate, you can get my presentation from http://highwind.digitalelf.net/~bahamat/slow-text.sxi
I got your document. Thank you. To attach a OOo-document you can select Binary file.
set to fixed
The fix will be integrated in the OOo1.1Beta. I close the issue.
Sorry! I closed the wrong issue. Reopen the issue.
You assigned a object effect to the text object. It is better to assign a text effect to the text because the text object could be much bigger then the text itself and therefore it can take much longer to show the effect. After assigning texteffects instead of objecteffects the effect of the slide title is much faster. The effect of the subtitle is still slow. Please have a look.
Will be fixed when we improve the presentation engine
thorsten, one for you
Yep, very probably, the engine rewrite will speed things up considerably.
A side note: OOo never used OpenGL for showing presentations, only to render 3D shapes (and still, OpenGL was not used even for that on Linux, driver support was simply too flaky to handle that). Thus, this is a feature request. We're currently on the way of a complete presentation engine rewrite, and we plan to use at least /some/ hardware support for Linux: Cairo/XRender, to name it. OpenGL under Linux is still a big friggin' mess, when looking at the whole picture. Though driver support for recent nVidia/ATI boards is fair (although not flawless for the 2D stuff we'd need), there are tons of XFree installations sporting hardware OGL in the server, but crashing you right in the face when you use it. We would thus be _very_ reluctant to enable/require OGL on Linux on a broad base.
Retargetted to OOo later. If there's time left, and Cairo stabilizes in the beta time frame, this issue will be reevaluated. Otherwise, Java canvas and/or Windows will be significantly better.
Reset to default bug assignee.
