Public bug reported:
As stated on bug #1876052, the default acceleration mode option is none
of the 3 nvidia settings option.
It’s displayed as "Performance mode" when you launch it for the first time,
however:
- default launch is Intel (so no performance mode)
- there is a "Use dedicated card" option (which shouldn't be displayed in
"Performance mode" and this one is triggering software acceleration)
- nvidia settings is only displaying that tab, and selecting another mode, then
selecting it back this one after reboot will display all other tab options, so
nvidia settings knows that the default setting is different from Performance
mode.
It seems nvidia settings is only showing the On demand option for cards that
support it. I suggest thus that our default selection represents a better
option for our users:
- If the card supports On demand acceleration -> select that by default
- If the card doesn’t support On demand acceleration -> select Performance mode
by default
- Remove the current "weird" status it's currently on by default.
