2:2.0.0-1 just entered testing actually :) But this one is known to have
multiple bugs on your i855 (especially regarding XV), so I don't expect
you to be very happy with it. 2:2.0.0-5 fixes most of these i855
specific problems, so it would better to test this one directly. If you
ever want to give a quick try, it's available at:
I was very surprised to see it come through last night with a slew of
other updates in testing, so I quickly downloaded everything and began
the task of configuring everything! You're not wrong about the new
driver on the i855, it sucks, I don't use language like that flippantly
:) Performance has dropped considerably to the extent that I can no
longer use compiz and the whole thing feels really sluggish and given
that I'm using an X40 I'm getting hard lock-ups occasionally (although
the BTS shows that is fixed in a later version). Still, I'm hoping to
weather this release out in the knowledge that things *will* improve in
the future as this driver appears to be actively developed!
I tried to set XvMCSurfaces in xorg.conf to "7", however in my
Xorg.0.log I get:
(WW) intel(0): Option "XvMCSurfaces" is not used
Which is pretty much what I had before the driver change. I thought I'd
email you just to give you some feedback from the field.
