Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c)
This graphics controller was working sweet under 8.04, but after an upgrade to 8.10 is running like ... well, you know. I found that my xorg.conf section for device was set up rather generic, so I tried specifying the Driver as "intel", but that didn't seem to make a difference. I tried some other options that found peppered about on this or that forum as well, to no avail. The relevant lines in my xorg.conf file look like this now:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller"
Driver "intel"
Option "UseFBDev" "true"
EndSection
I can't give any quantitative value for the performance drop, but compiz used to run the effects that I had enabled very smoothly, and now is very choppy... Google Earth is unusable, just looks like its puking on my screen. Very frustrating, but I'd like to attempt a fix before I do a fresh install of 8.04 to roll back. Anybody got any ideas?
