I can confirm this on a Dell Dimension with the same graphics card. Using the "intel" driver doesn't improve the performance. I also don't experience a notable difference with visual effects being switched on or off.
With Gutsy, the same machine performed quite well. But with Hardy, it's really dead slow. glxgears is at about 200 FPS without compiz, 190 with compiz. I attached the output of glxinfo, maybe it can help finding the problem. If you need any more information, I'd be glad to provide it. Working on this machine with Hardy really isn't fun, so I'd love to see this bug triaged rather sooner than later. ** Attachment added: "Output of glxinfo" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/14761265/glxinfo -- Xorg high cpu usage on intel 845 videocard with i810 driver Ubuntu 8.04 beta 1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/204793 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
