Driver for graphics card?

[evilbrent]

cool, thanks. Linux is an interesting journey.

Can I ask why you haven't put in a line about videoram?

I'm no intel graphics driver expert, the driver only interested me enough to make a netbook work a bit better.

I did not add the videoram entry because:
- recent examples don't. (lots of out-of-date stuff on web)
- don't see why it is necessary (RAM reports okay)
- less is more, I put in the least possible entries.
- every entry needs to be understood before use. (I don't)
- xorg.conf is not an all or nothing setup..there are other additional mechanisms & files.

Add any additional entries one by one for debugging/bisecting problems.
Try "EXA" before "UXA" for the same reason..


Note that only the later intel graphics X4500HD GMA500 & iCPUs are capable of even attempting HTPC.

glxgears is not a benchmark, and 60fps = 60Hz = vsync. Also, the driver was installed correctly in the first place. All you've done is made things worse

Well originally he had 300fps so no sync-vertical blank..
And the OP has not done any real harm..& just needs to edit one file to recover.
The xorg-edgers has done no harm for my intel graphics performance.

The openGL (glxgears) performance is only part/aspect of the video driver support.
For HTPC the support of other features (if any) are more important especially for weak graphics chips.
The OP graphics may not any h/w features that have not been exploited but I doubt the driver yet matches the windows driver.
