Yeah, it's sort of hard to remember to update a driver that hasn't seen a release in nearly three years. I've built a new snapshot for rawhide and F27. - ajax ___ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org

Hi Sergio, > Please read : https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1413251 > Since F26 xorg-x11-server defualts to use modeset driver instead of > intel. As mentioned in the bug report, xorg-x11-server is still used for gen2 and gen3. Furthermore glamor doesn't work that well for gen4/gen5 based systems (I'll submit a few benchmark values of a gen4 based system soon). I had at least one crash-bug in the package shipped by Fedora (triggered by LibreOffice), which was solved after (manually) updating to the latest xorg-x11-server git. Please don't let the package rot like this. Thanks, Clemens ___ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org

Fedora 27 ships with outdated intel driver from 20160929
Hi there, For Fedora 26 (or was it 25) it was decided to replace the intel-optimized xorg-x11-drv-intel with the generic modesetting+glamor approach. While this works well for >= Sandy-Bridge (gen6) based chips, I experience performance regressions for day-to-day work (eclipse, libreoffice, ...) on my gen5 laptop and I suspect gen4 (i965) is even worse. Therefore, I continue using xorg-x11-drv-intel + SNA, however, the package shipped by Fedora is really outdated and now over a year old (20160929): https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1496252 I don't expect active support for this settup, but please either ship a more recent version of this package or drop it altogethert.
