RE: S-video with Intel Graphics Card

2008-12-14 Thread Jin, Gordon
In theory you don't need to set anything special in xorg.conf to get a clone TV output. But if your machine is a desktop with external monitor connected, and a non-existing LVDS wrongly detected (because it's mobile chipset), that may cause problem, and in that case, you'll need to explicitly "i

Bad performance on 2.6.28rc vs. 2.6.27 for intel 2.5.1 + xserver 1.5.3

Hi, Just trying a new kernel 2.6.28rc and without changing anything else my DRI/GLX performance seems to have suffered badly. I'm running compiz on a i945GM. Is there anything specific that needs to be changed (e.g. in libdrm or mesa) to keep up to date with changes in the kernel itself? If I

You really need the glyph cache in the X server to get decent text performance out of the 2.5 intel driver. The patches are pretty straightforward to backport, but it is my understanding that a 1.6 server will be uploaded to jaunty soon, so you might want to wait for that. Jeffrey W. Baker wrote:
