[Bug 252094] Re: Poor graphics performance and rendering errors on Intel GM965 system, Ubuntu 8.10
I followed MPCs instructions on a eee 901 with an intel 945. It was a complete disaster, it did not fix a thing. FPS seemed slightly higher (600-700 instead of 500-600), but there were the same rendering errors when moving the glxgears window around. I lost array.org's wired and wireless network and lost the keyboard settings so I couldn't even check if a was running the proper intel driver and drm versions. GoogleEarth seemed a bit smother but all text were totaly lost so it was still unusable. I totally discorage other eee users to try this if unsure. I guess we have to wait for Ubuntu's or array.orgs fixes. -- Poor graphics performance and rendering errors on Intel GM965 system, Ubuntu 8.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/252094 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

It looks like you've never rebuild a personal kernel, all the modules must be rebuilt too ( like the Wifi driver, hotkeys driver etc... ) . For the keyboard problem, I too have this issue but I've solved it by redefining my keyboard layout, and Tormond says it will be fixed in the 1.6 beta version of xorg-xserver-core . About your FPS, that's very strange, I jumped from around 400 to 900 without any problems, which means a little more than doubled performance ! But you've got only 100FPS more, et that's very strange, perhaps you're using the wrong acceleration method ?

I am in the same situation as many above: Dell Vostro 1310 with GM965 running Intrepid Ibex. It's a Core 2 Duo with 4GB of ram. The graphic performance is clearly incoherent to the hardware capabilities. On Hardy, the performance was good, no slow scrolling issues and a (at least) 2 times higher FPS rate in many apps (including glxgears). I see almost no improvement using all the Options in xorg.conf described here or in (many) other places. Glxgears always give me something around 250 to 400 fps which I consider to be very low. I have attached xorg.conf. How does this situations work? Are we waiting for a fix from Intel or from the community? Is there a time schedule so we know how much more to wait? Are there beta fixes we can try? Where? Either way, will there be a new automatic update to Ibex that will fix this? Or is this something that will only be fixed in the next release of Ubuntu?

It is interesting that all people here are reporting all the same again and again altough everything was said. Fedora 10 is based on unstable GEM patches and intel driver (and probably master branches of mesa/xorg) . GEM is too new and it takes some time that intel stabilize it and do all optimizations. Ubuntu 8.x will probably never have official accelerated driver because it depends on new Kernel and new xorg/mesa (my opinion). There is NO way to configure/turn on things to make it faster until you recompile new kernel/xorg/mesa and intel driver for yourself. The situation is a little bit frustrating but thats the reality. Wait for new official stable kernel/intel/mesa/xorg. If anyone has some new information, post it. Complaining and repeating all the same does not makes things faster.

[Bug 252094] Re: Poor graphics performance and rendering errors on Intel GM965 system, Ubuntu 8.10
I think the performance regression of intel driver is due to the lost of the 'INTEL_BATCH' variable. This variable can be set in Hardy to get a huge performance boost in 3D (can be seen in glxgears, but also openarena, compizeffects...) for example in Hardy, compare the output of : glxgears and INTEL_BATCH=1 glxgears i have +100% fps on i915 (1024*600 16bpp) : result 1480fps This variable is not set by default on a Hardy install, but it is set when i launch compiz from a console. The problem : this variable is no more used in intel driver (deprecated) so Intrepid can't benefit fom it. From what i understand (being far from an expert ;) ) we have to wait for GEM/TTM to get the same performance in the future... If someone can recompile the intel driver sources used in Hardy, to make it work under intrepid, maybe we can get better results ? see my previous bug on this subject : https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/284082 -- Poor graphics performance and rendering errors on Intel GM965 system, Ubuntu 8.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/252094 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Just adding that TTM was never used as a memory manager pre-hardy. Other than that, we are in the middle of migrating the intel driver to the GEM stack. However, it seems that non-GEM performance has taken a *huge* hit. 2.5.1 in jaunty has poor glxgears (350 fps) and poor openarena (1-3fps) scores. There is definitely a performance regression somewhere in here.

Recent Intel driver and the latest xorg (not yet released) and 2.6.28 kernel has new memory management GEM which address slow performance for intel graphics. It is not bug in ubuntu 8.04 and 8.10. 7.xx ubuntu is fast because there were intel driver with TTM memory management which was droped by intel (in flavour of GEM).

Re: [Bug 252094] Re: Poor graphics performance and rendering errors on Intel GM965 system, Ubuntu 8.10
50fps on glxgears isn't an indication of vsync enabled (maybe working incorrectly, since usual refresh rates are more likely to be 60, 75, 85 fps)? Do you get tearing on this 50fps setup? If not, maybe this is an evolution... just wondering.

Of course glxgears is not a good performance guide but in my case, the relative framerate changes in glxgears are correlated to the relative framerate changes in openarena timedemo when trying different versions of ubuntu with different xorg-server, intel-driver, etc. -- Poor graphics performance and rendering errors on Intel GM965 system, Ubuntu 8.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/252094 You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber of the bug. -- Poor graphics performance and rendering errors on Intel GM965 system, Ubuntu 8.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/252094 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
