Hi, guys. Have some troubles with dmenu(4.2.1-1), stock kernel(2.6.38.4-1) and perhaps xf86-video-ati(6.14.1-1): dmenu lags. Vertical listing is really pain in the ass(latency ~1 sec) and with blob everything works just fine. If anyone has the same here i'll post it to suckless's or x.org's bugzilla. Device: Radeon HD4570 Mobile How to test: o In attachments there is file named "test". o Command: cat test | dmenu -l 10 o Lags(or no lags)

No lag here. Mobility Radeon HD 4500 with compositing KDE. -- Arthur Titeica
I'm not getting any lag with the same versions of dmenu and kernel26. I'm using xf86-video-intel though, so maybe that makes a difference.
No lag here.

Could you please post your xorg.conf's part about radeon driver?

I tested it and it's fine. It's not as fast as e.g. dmenu_run -l 10, but not as laggy as you described. I have a Mobility Radeon 9600 M10, i686 and an up-to-date Arch with [testing] enabled.

Does it happen every time? I'm thinking about dmenu_path, which causes a delay when it's run, but I don't see the connection to gfx drivers..

Yes. But with long lines(>50 symbols, i think). If i continue pressing 'arrow down' key and then release it scrolling stops only after a huge delay(~5 seconds).

Same here with x86-video-ati-6.14.1 and HD4670, but I don't normally use such long lines with dmenu. I wonder whether anyone else has missed this delay, because you didn't describe what you see in your first message.

Yeah, my mistake. With short lines everything's ok.
