Hello. I've just purchased a Dell E7250 laptop equipped with Intel HD Graphics 5500 (i5-5300U). Today I've been fighting with Xorg configuration. I'm running PLD distribution (not important here) with kernel 4.2.4, xserver 1.17.4 and XOrg Intel driver 2.99.917.
The problem is, that if I enable SNA acceleration, my laptop hangs very quickly after I start X - even if I use only twm as a window manager. I wouldn't even mention runnig KDE for it hangs extremally quickly. It works a bit longer if i switch off desktop effects in KDE. I've tried many tricks like switching to UXA, usinfg NoAccel option - it helps but just for a moment. Till now I've been using Dell D430 with i945MG internal card and it works very well, although not that fast. Now it's time for my question: is there a known way to make such configuration work stable WITH hardware acceleration? SNA or UXA - not important, but I want to have it working, together with KDE desktop effects. It seems to be a waste to have such powerful hardware and not be able to use it :-/ Maybe there are some tweaking options needed? Or shall I try some older driver versions? Thanks for any help. -- Łukasz Maśko _o) Lukasz.Masko(at)ipipan.waw.pl /\\ Registered Linux User #61028 _\_V Ubuntu: staroafrykańskie słowo oznaczające "Nie umiem zainstalować Debiana" _______________________________________________ [email protected]: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: %(user_address)s
