Public bug reported: I added:
Section "Device" Identifier "Intel Graphics" Driver "intel" Option "AccelMethod" "uxa" EndSection to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and restarted lightdm which seems to have given me some hardware acceleration. It still isn't the same as what the laptop performs like running Windows 8 however it does make ubuntu usable again. the laptop is an Acer Aspire S3-391-32364G52add ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.04 Package: xorg 1:7.7+1ubuntu4 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.8.0-23.34-generic 3.8.11 Uname: Linux 3.8.0-23-generic x86_64 .tmp.unity.support.test.1: ApportVersion: 2.9.2-0ubuntu8.1 Architecture: amd64 CompizPlugins: No value set for `/apps/compiz-1/general/screen0/options/active_plugins' CompositorRunning: None Date: Tue Jun 11 11:43:18 2013 DistUpgraded: Fresh install DistroCodename: raring DistroVariant: ubuntu EcryptfsInUse: Yes ExtraDebuggingInterest: Yes, if not too technical GraphicsCard: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0116] (rev 09) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Acer Incorporated [ALI] Device [1025:0739] InstallationDate: Installed on 2013-06-10 (0 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 13.04 "Raring Ringtail" - Release amd64 (20130424) MachineType: Acer Aspire S3-391 MarkForUpload: True ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.8.0-23-generic root=UUID=5d7dde32-a7fe-4f34-aeda-c80fff2a320b ro nomodeset quiet splash vt.handoff=7 SourcePackage: xorg UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) XorgConf: Section "Device" Identifier "Intel Graphics" Driver "intel" Option "AccelMethod" "uxa" EndSection dmi.bios.date: 12/13/2012 dmi.bios.vendor: Insyde Corp. dmi.bios.version: V1.26 dmi.board.asset.tag: Type2 - Board Asset Tag dmi.board.name: Hummingbird2 dmi.board.vendor: Acer dmi.board.version: V1.26 dmi.chassis.asset.tag: Chassis Asset Tag dmi.chassis.type: 10 dmi.chassis.vendor: Acer dmi.chassis.version: V1.26 dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnInsydeCorp.:bvrV1.26:bd12/13/2012:svnAcer:pnAspireS3-391:pvrV1.26:rvnAcer:rnHummingbird2:rvrV1.26:cvnAcer:ct10:cvrV1.26: dmi.product.name: Aspire S3-391 dmi.product.version: V1.26 dmi.sys.vendor: Acer drirc: <driconf> </driconf> version.compiz: compiz 1:0.9.9~daily13.04.18.1~13.04-0ubuntu1 version.ia32-libs: ia32-libs N/A version.libdrm2: libdrm2 2.4.43-0ubuntu1 version.libgl1-mesa-dri: libgl1-mesa-dri 9.1.1-0ubuntu3 version.libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental: libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental N/A version.libgl1-mesa-glx: libgl1-mesa-glx 9.1.1-0ubuntu3 version.xserver-xorg-core: xserver-xorg-core 2:1.13.3-0ubuntu6 version.xserver-xorg-input-evdev: xserver-xorg-input-evdev 1:2.7.3-0ubuntu2b2 version.xserver-xorg-video-ati: xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:7.1.0-0ubuntu2 version.xserver-xorg-video-intel: xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.21.6-0ubuntu4 version.xserver-xorg-video-nouveau: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau 1:1.0.7-0ubuntu1 xserver.bootTime: Tue Jun 11 11:39:55 2013 xserver.configfile: /etc/X11/xorg.conf xserver.errors: No devices detected. open /dev/dri/card0: No such file or directory xserver.logfile: /var/log/Xorg.0.log xserver.version: 2:1.13.3-0ubuntu6 ** Affects: xorg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug raring ubuntu -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1189696 Title: A potential fix for Intel HD 4000 graphics To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1189696/+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
