For the past month I have been trying to figure this issue out to no |
2 |
avail. When the new xorg-server went stable a little over a month ago |
3 |
there were several posts related to opengl performance on the intel |
4 |
graphics cards none of which I was able to pull any information from. |
5 |
Prior to the upgrade, while running xorg-server 1.3 and intel video |
6 |
driver 2.1, I was able to run gnome with compiz-fusion (no flames on |
7 |
gnome please) without issue, and glxgears (yes I know that its not a |
8 |
benchmarking tool but it will illustrate the point just fine here) ran |
9 |
at about 700 fps. After the upgrade which included: |
10 |
|
11 |
xf86-video-intel-2.7.1 |
12 |
mesa-7.4.2 |
13 |
xorg-server-1.5.3-r6 |
14 |
libdrm-2.4.11 |
15 |
|
16 |
My performance has dropped to the point where compiz-fusion no longer |
17 |
runs well on my computer. glxgears shows only 60 fps. Following some |
18 |
suggestions from earlier posts to the list I have tried upgrading my |
19 |
kernel and now run 2.6.28 with the i915 driver in the kernel selected. |
20 |
glxinfo shows: |
21 |
|
22 |
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) 945GM GEM 20090114 |

Anyone have any ideas that may help improve the performance on this |
25 |
card, FWIW the laptop is a Dell Inspiron E1405 with a GMA950 Intel |
26 |
chipset. |
