Looks like 2.6.30-rc2 provides some improvement with 3D acceleration. Please see this thread: http://www.phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?t=16477
I cleanly applied the patch mentioned for 2.6.28 to 2.6.29: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu-jaunty.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=f9ca66fcd73275db2c19dcf296360e9244f0332d;hp=da84f1cdd18b1b5c415633e1ce5c3b89c8cddc1 Performance is better, though still very sub par to windows. Skyrockets screen server or Alien Arena can actually run about 5 fps or so now. However, this is not with UXA, but EXA. It seems that the latest 2.7.0 driver breaks UXA. If I try to enable UXA all I get is a black screen when I start X either using KMS or not. UXA at least worked before 2.7.0. Though X has been more stable and I haven't had a single X session hang for a few days, so that is another improvement. I do see this in my Xserver logs though regarding UXA: (WW) intel(0): DRI2 requires UXA If I enable in xorg.conf: Option "AccelMethod" "UXA" It causes the complete black screen. My xorg.conf section for Device section looks like this: Section "Device" Identifier "Intel GMA X4500HD a.k.a. G45 and i965" Driver "intel" BusID "PCI:0:2:0" # Option "VideoRam" "131072" # Option "NoAccel" "false" # Option "AccelMethod" "XAA" # Option "AccelMethod" "EXA" # Option "AccelMethod" "UXA" # Option "ExaNoComposite" "false" # Option "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy" # Option "Tiling" "true" # Option "DRI" "true" # Option "XVideo" "true" # Option "Legacy3D" "true" EndSection Chris -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
