No problem! I don't still have the D620 (or run 16.04 on anything...). Side note, Intel GPU drivers sure have come along way since then! Back in the day, the Intel driver OpenGL was somewhat questionable, it worked or it didn't with various games and 3D-using stuff.... see this very bug report. Now I can generally run anything even under wine and proton up to the limits of the hardware. I.e. you won't be running dx12 games on a 10 year old Intel GPU but it'll do dx11...whether it'll do it fast enough is another matter but better drivers can't do anything for the GPU being too slow. Well apparently they can to some extent -- the cherry on the cake, my friend's (almost as old as the D620) Sandy Bridge system got about a 40-50% FPS improvement with some Mesa/Intel stack changes in 2020 or so (and has kept that extra speed in 22.04) and I saw 30%+ speedups on a few other Intel GPU systems I had around that time.
(This was not a matter of Intel GPU drivers being slow before; on the contrary, running some games on Intel GPU head-to-head between Windows and Linux with wine or proton shows higher framerates in Linux virtually across the board.) Great job Xorg, Mesa, and Intel driver devs! --Henry -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1643239 Title: Xorg crash on compiz login, with Intel 945 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1643239/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
