Re: Intel 945GM card and KWin Effects - anyone with good, fast performance ?
Well, I was testing earlier Kubuntu 9.04 on my machine - ( Kernel 2.6.28 + intel 2.6.3 ) and the performance was a lot better i must say. On Debian, even moving or resizing window with desktop effects enabled is slower than on Kubuntu. (but i don't want to use Kubuntu ;) I've heard that kernel 2.6.30 got some improvements for Intel cards and gives a lot better performance with Intel drivers 2.7.0 compare to kernel 2.6.29 with the same drivers. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kde-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Or, continue using the 2.6.26 kernel.

Re: Intel 945GM card and KWin Effects - anyone with good, fast performance ?
Hi, I am testing KDE 4.2.2 on my Toshiba Portégé R500. I tested some KWin effects like shadows, alpha and cube desktop and it seems to be relatively fast. The cube desktop effect rendering is running at 10-15 FPS, but I is usable and I think it's normal for the 945GM. I am using Linux 2.6.26-2 from unstable and there is no special configuration in xorg.conf... -- Laurent Léonard Le samedi 25 avril 2009 21:35:56, emikaadeo a écrit : Some informations: HP Compaq nx7300 notebook $ lspci | grep VGA 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) $ uname -r 2.6.29-1-686 xserver-xorg 1:7.4+1 xserver-xorg-core2:1.6.1-1 xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.7.0-1 Tried with different settings in xorg.conf (AccelMethod: UXA, EXA MigrationHeuristic: greedy) Still can't get good performance with KWin effects My actual /etc/X11/xorg.conf : Section Device Identifier Configured Video Device Option AccelMethod UXA Option MigrationHeuristicgreedy Driver intel EndSection -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kde-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
