"... Linux GraphicsAbout Linux Graphics About Intel® Linux* Graphics Linux* graphics is an ongoing field of interest at Intel’s Open Source Technology Center (OTC). Community contributions range from driver development and refinement to widespread project involvement, with a particular focus on advancing standards for Open Source graphics. Current OTC graphics work covers a broad range of efforts and projects, such as: : Kernel driver is the core of the Intel Linux Graphics project, being responsible for all interactions with the hardware, driving different video outputs, mode setting, and converting bits into on-screen visible pixels. Mesa is the library responsible for 3D rendering, OpenGL compatibility, GLES and all the 3d-related components of Graphics on Linux and Unix systems XF86-Video-Intel, also known as DDX is the driver responsible for the 2D rendering within the X window system LibDRM is the middleware responsible for conversations between user applications and kernel driver itself Cairo Graphics is the 2D rendering and acceleration library VA API is the part of the stack responsible for hardware-accelerated video rendering, pre- and post-processing and output Wayland is the ongoing research project on next generation of window systems and composers ...". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to mesa in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/984452 Title: [GM965] Poor performance ubuntu 12.04 on Intel® 965GM x86/MMX/SSE2 [8086:2a00] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mesa/+bug/984452/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
