Leann, Thanks for reassigning this bug. Having updated to the Hardy development release and custom compiling the requisite drm modules, it seems things things are working fine.
I noticed some interesting developments recently; as of version 2.2.0, the intel driver will default to EXA acceleration (which uses the new TTM memory manager, part of the new DRM kernel code) and it seems this new driver no longer differentiates between i915.dri and i915_tex.dri DRI modules, obsoleting the Legacy3D option. This means it's more important than ever to have up-to-date DRI functionality for Hardy's release, as running with older DRM kernel modules and libraries results in EXA being in a reduced-performance "compatibility mode", as warned in Xorg.0.log. As for Gutsy, I'm aware it's too late to have this implemented, thanks. We should push this for consideration in linux-source-2.6.24, to be included with Hardy. -- Request: sync new agpgart & drm modules for 50% DRI performance boost with Intel users https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/88918 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
