AGP is really old - no doubt this system will be using PCIE. |

Is there anything interesting in the output of egrep '(WW|EE)' |

~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log ? |

Are you using the intel or modesetting driver? (try the other one?) |
30 |
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Intel says that modesetting is now the |
31 |
default. To that end my xorg.conf now has; |
32 |
Driver "modesetting" |
33 |
Option "AccelMethod" "glamor" |
34 |
|
35 |
FYI glamor is on by default in the xorg-server-1.20.5 ebuild. |
