Then I will try various versions of the driver with SNA and I will report back. I also just discovered when googling around a great deal that many recommend not to use the intel driver at all anymore. And in fact when I checked the drivers on a new computer I just installed fc27 on, I see it is not using this driver although it is installed (using the onboard graphics with an i3-8100)! Wow, I had no idea about this. It is using the generic "modesetting" driver (seems to be a misleading name) and that seems to work just fine, even with things like google earth and the like. I guess most of the important hardware specific stuff lies really in the kernel side of the drivers, at least for the newer hardware. I should try this also on the older (onboard graphics with i3-540) hardware. I bet it won't work but first I want to run the UXA longer to see if gets the "acceleration dropped" problem. Prima facie it seems like use SNA with the intel driver would be the most desirable configuration however.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> <li>You are the QA Contact for the bug.</li> <li>You are on the CC list for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
