<https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video- intel/+bug/269509/comments/12> suggests that inability to get acceleration on more than one X server simultaneously is a well-known issue with Intel graphics. However, I'm still searching for a more convincing record of this known issue.
In the meantime, <https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19493#c5> does suggest hope for the future: a comment from 2009-03-20 says "With KMS and the current driver, thanks to Dave Airlie, you'll get multiple servers with DRI support". (I don't know what that means in detail, other than that perhaps it'll be fixed by Karmic. NB, bugs.freedesktop.org uses an unusual SSL CA, so you may need to temporarily install the root CA from <http://www.cacert.org/index.php?id=3> just to follow that link! Grr.) ®om, do you have Intel graphics hardware? ** Bug watch added: freedesktop.org Bugzilla #19493 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19493 -- Multiple users cannot run desktop effects simultaneously https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/383753 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
