I'm currently running xf86-video-intel 2.13.0 with an i5-540M, and I've
been experiencing a strange issue where after a day or two, I can no
longer play videos smoothly in Flash 10.2 beta, as well as in VMWare.
Even moving windows in VMWare guests becomes slow and visibly laggy.
It's almost as if there's no video acceleration -- the frame rate drops
drastically, and CPU usage seems to increase significantly. Playing
video in mplayer still works perfectly, however. Restarting X has no
effect, and I have to do a full reboot to get rid of the problem. I'm
running 64-bit Gentoo with the following:
libdrm 2.4.22
mesa 7.8.2
2.6.36 kernel
xorg-server 1.7.7
The problem also occurs with the 2.6.35 kernel, and I've also been able
to replicate it in a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.10. There are no
indications of any problems in both the output of dmesg and the Xorg
logs, and the output of intel_gpu_top looks no different before/after
the problem occues. I'm on a ThinkPad X201 with an external display
connected via DisplayPort, and I do suspend it with the hibernate-ram
script. Is this a known problem by any chance? If not, how might I go
about troubleshooting this?
reading your report it is not clear for me, if hibernating is necessary
to trigger the problem or not.
I cannot say for sure if hibernating is necessary to trigger the problem
or not... every time I've seen the problem, it's been after using
hibernate-ram a couple of times, but I also haven't left the laptop
running continuously for a couple of days before. I usually carry my
laptop with me during the day, so it's not really practical to leave it
on continuously. It definitely doesn't happen immediately after
resuming from suspend, though. I can resume from suspend, watch some
YouTube videos with no problem, and have the problem pop up a couple of
hours later.
This bug is the only issue preventing me from switching exclusively to
linux, so I really hope to find a fix for it -- I just don't know where
to start. (I also hope for the ability to independently load separate
color profiles for each monitor using xcalib, but that's minor)
