Thanks for your report, I cannot reproduce your problem of gnometris eating all your CPU. Can you tell us why you think that he doesn't respect the tetris rotation?

[Akdo (menoft)]

That doesn't respect the tetris rotation. For example: here the T tetrominoes
currently rotation:

[Akdo (menoft)]

normal rotation

I have gutsy tribe5 (with all update )

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

That can be changed in the preferences with the option "Rotate blocks counterclockwise".

I confirm this strange behaviour. After some pieces (at least 20) are placed, the game gets sluggish and xorg usage gets up to 100% when interacting with the game (ie rotating blocks or moving them).
Here's my specs:
- Gutsy beta
- AthlonXP 3000+
- Ati 9600 with fglrx

I can also confirm this behavior. Tetris shouldn't require these kind of system resources! The game starts fine. This usually happens after playing for about a minute when my gameboard gets more full and complex. If I just let the blocks fall, everything is ok. When I rotate or drop them using the down arrow key the system resources go into the high 90% and the game is extremely slugish.

Here are some specs on my computer:
-Overclocked AMD AthlonXP...approximately 2800 equivalent.
-Nvidia 6800
-Compiz Effects Enabled
-Gutsy Final

To be forwarded upstream by someone getting the bug, that works fine for me, thanks.

I have the same problem, the game becomes unplayable after a while. Then I
tried the following, under settings, preferences, theme - I chose "plain"
and the performance-issue was solved. I know this is a work-around at best.

I am experiencing the same problem. It's 100% cpu usage on 1 thread only.

- Pentium 4 HT 3GHz
- NV 8600 gt
- Compiz Effects Enabled
- Ubuntu 7.10 October 2007

[SoulFire (napopa-2000)]

Same happens here... Ubuntu 7.10, compiz disabled
