Yes, it's a known problem in Ubuntu, and upstream. There are plenty of people who can do something about it, though, by working with upstream to actually resolve the problems. > That is: is this a know regression which must be left in the stable > release? > I can't speak for the X team, but from what I've gathered the team is looking at, in roughly this order: a) Whether UXA can be enabled by default. This is where upstream is going, and doesn't suffer from the (apparently terrible) performance problems, but it's much less tested and doesn't seem to to work properly for everyone. b) Really, really hoping the upstream Intel drivers have the EXA performance regressions fixed. c) Work out whether we can ship an older driver release. I don't think it's possible to state whether or not this regression will remain in the final release at this point. There's still a fair amount of time left to fix it. -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
