You might get better preformance when using sna, which is now the default one without the --with-default-accel switch. > Reference: BLFS Development Book 2014-01-29 > xf86-video-intel 2.21.1521-Aug-2013 > xorg-server 1.15.0 27-Dec-2013 > xf86-video-intel 2.99.907 30-Dec-2013 > > Cheers, > -- Alex > > -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

Xorg packages in general having .9xx at the end of the version number indicate that is a development version. Don't let release date confuse you. If you looked at intel driver page, you could notice that there's a patch that fixes the current stable driver for xserver 1.15.x. Of course, there's nothing stopping you from using the 2.99.907 version. -- Note: My last name is not Krejzi. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
