I have made some research on the state of the 2.7.0 Intel driver. >From what I've read, the problems I have come from my using of Metacity's compositing manager. The new intel driver currently has some tearing and framerate (among others) problems while watching videos in a composited environment. The good news is that upstream seems to be fully aware of the problem, and the bad is there's no way to know (AFAIK) how much time (and effort) it will take before the driver improves. Disabling compositing helps with the video (not with the general redraw speed on the desktop though), for those seeking for a workaround.
Thanks for the hard work, Keep it up. -- Apelete Seketeli <apel...@seketeli.org> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
