Firefox interface performance issues with NVIDIA
by The_Dark_Passenger from LinuxQuestions.org on (#582X2)
Hello,
I recently purchased a workstation that included an NVIDIA Quadro P2000. I've installed Slackware64 -current on it, and ensured it is up to date. I installed the latest, short-lived NVIDIA proprietary driver from their site. The NVIDIA DRM module fails to build. However, I proceeded to install it with the --no-drm option.
The driver seems to be working and is providing OpenGL acceleration via the nvidia driver in X. I see everything appears ok in the NVIDIA driver settings.
However, I'm having an issue with Firefox's interface performance. And I'm also having an odd issue where my forward/back mouse buttons don't work all the time.
Regardless of if I force enable OpenGL or WebRender hardware acceleration or not, the Firefox interface is very laggy. The transistion animations begin, but essentially stop, and it just transitions to the next menu in the FF interface in a jerky way.
This does not effect the page content. Web pages are very smooth, and even more so with OpenGL force enabled.
Also, the forward and back buttons on my mouse only intermittently work in Firefox. If I press the software back button in Firefox, then try to use the mouse buttons they work navigating between the two pages. However, if I navigate to a new page, they only sometimes work after hitting the back button on the mouse 5-10 times.
The Firefox version is the latest 78esr included with Slackware64 -current.
What could be causing this, and is there a solution?
Any help is appreciated?
