I'm not currently benefiting from hardware graphics acceleration, and
sadly have no idea what to do to enable it. The Q965 chipset seems to
be pretty new and my google-fu has failed me. Suggestions, including
"you should have googled for XXXX you idiot" welcomed.
I'll soon (hopefully) have a dual-screen setup, and would like to get
the graphics sorted now before introducing the complications of a
dual-head configuration.
Setup:
Running Ubuntu 7.04 on a new (?model) HP Compaq box.
$ uname -r
2.6.20-12-generic
$ glxinfo|grep -i direct
direct rendering: No
glxgears running fullscreen is claiming ~150 fps, but just looking at
it I'd say it's rendering maybe 1.5 fps.
$ lspci|grep -i Graphics
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82Q963/Q965
Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
According to lsmod, kernel modules loaded include i915, drm, agpgart, intel_agp.
from xorg.conf:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Generic Video Card"
Driver "intel"
Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "true"
BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
EndSection
and
Section "DRI"
Mode 0666
EndSection
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "true"
EndSection
the "Screen" section includes entries like
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1280x960" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
but the gnome screen resolution controller offers many more -- I'm
assuming it's querying my monitor (a ViewSonic VG2021m) for its
capabilities.
TIA,
Roy.
