[gentoo-user] FYI: xf86-video-intel 2.6.x Bad opengl performance

[Pongrácz István]

Hello Everybody,

I have a laptop with Intel 945GM videochip. I use ~x86 and I expected a very
bad opengl performance afte I switched to intel driver from 2.5.x to 2.6.

The compiz and playing video were very slow, independently of the CPU usage.

So, after all I downgraded the xf86-video-intel to the latest 2.5.x version
and I got a good performance again.

If one has this kind of issue, try to downgrade to 2.5.x.

Regards,

István
