Apparently some of the last commits speeds up create_wibox() a lot. This highlights that this is a bad test: After creating thousands of wiboxes, awesome needed 15 seconds to draw all of them and in the end some dbus timeout aborted the test run. However, it's irrelevant how quickly we can create wibox. The interesting number is how quickly we can display a new wibox. Thus, this commits changes the code so that it also measures the time that is needed to update the wibox. This way, we don't accumulate a huge number of pending repaints and everything's fine. Some results (but there is nothing to compare this with): create&draw wibox: 0.0373947 sec/iter ( 28 iters, 1.59 sec for benchmark) update textclock: 0.00198174 sec/iter (515 iters, 1.937 sec for benchmark) relayout textclock: 0.000614439 sec/iter (1710 iters, 1.051 sec for benchmark) redraw textclock: 0.00116882 sec/iter (865 iters, 2.962 sec for benchmark) tag switch: 0.000705579 sec/iter (1498 iters, 3.703 sec for benchmark) Signed-off-by: Uli Schlachter <psychon@znc.in> |

About awesome
awesome is a highly configurable, next generation framework window manager for X.
Building and installation
After extracting the dist tarball, run:
make
This will create a build directory, run cmake in it and build awesome.
After building is finished, you can install:
make install # you might need root permissions
Running awesome
You can directly select awesome from your display manager. If not, you can
add the following line to your .xinitrc to start awesome using startx
or to .xsession
to start awesome using your display manager:
exec awesome
In order to connect awesome to a specific display, make sure that
the DISPLAY
environment variable is set correctly, e.g.:
DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec awesome
(This will start awesome on display :1
of the host foo.bar.)
Configuration
The configuration of awesome is done by creating a
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/awesome/rc.lua
file, typically ~/.config/awesome/rc.lua
.
An example configuration named awesomerc.lua.in
is provided in the source.
Troubleshooting
On most systems any message printed by awesome (including warnings and errors)
is written to ~/.xsession-errors
.
If awesome does not start or the configuration file is not producing the desired results the user should examine this file to gain insight into the problem.
