That turns out to be why I got the blank screen earlier. Anyway I have now run a recent git version of the intel driver for quite a while in SNA mode without a recurrence of the big slowdown after acceleration being disabled. I will assume it is probably going to be okay, and am now turning attention to another machine, a much newer one. I have found the intel driver is not usable on this right now because of some strange issues with webcams. It cannot display webcam output on the screen. The generic DDX "modesetting" driver works just fine in this and other regards (although like all drivers, it simply cannot do smooth scrolling but that's apparently how linux is...). I will make a detailed new bug report on this issue after I have done some more looking into it when I get the time.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are on the CC list for the bug.</li> <li>You are the QA Contact for the bug.</li> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
