First Cup of Ubuntu
Hello
Thanks for the guide.
I tried SAFE and OPTIMAL ways, both cause the system to halt after rebooting. Dark screen after the UBUNTU logo and nothing else. I can restore using xfix 'try to auto repair graphics problems' in the Recovery Menu but this reverts the xorg.conf file to the original.
Does this mean that my graphics chipset (Intel 82845G/GL) cannot be well used under Ubuntu? Now display is VERY slow.
Any ideas?

Are you using compiz? Overlay video doesn't work when any compositing manager is running, and your graphics chipset may not support textured video (which is the only way to get XV and compositing to cooperate).Originally Posted by frausch
Check the output of "xvinfo" to see what's available.

You have two options:
1. Use the Optimal, Safe or default Jaunty configuration with EXA and greedy acceleration. In other words,
Ensure your xorg.conf matches the following (the bold items are the important bits):
2. Try the Bleeding-Edge configuration if and only if you have fully read the guide, know how to revert changes and can deal with temporary X breakage.Code:Section "Device" Identifier "Configured Video Device" Option "AccelMethod" "exa" Option "EXAOptimizeMigration" "true" Option "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy" Option "Tiling" "true" # i8xx users: see note in guide EndSection

Actually, xv works now. I played a bit around with xorg.conf, and tying (without success) to switch to textured video. I think it was after a reboot, that it suddenly worked with overlay video. The video is certainly not treated correctly in desktop effects, but one can watch it.
I found another issue: The google earth window is only filled in a small area in the upper left corner (see attachement).
In armagetron, the menus are shifted upwards so that they are only partially visible.

Re: HOWTO: Jaunty Intel Graphics Performance Guide
he guys,
i wish that it could be so simple. please try celestia with this driver. i have a build-in X3100 (gma965) and celestia shows me only its menu...nothing else. cairo-dock isn't running in opengl either...

Looks like the kernel is installing fine. Can you please post the contents of /boot/grub/menu.lst? I suspect Grub is configured to boot the wrong kernel.
Frothy Coffee!
issue there.
i tried out ubuntu karmic and haven't figured out how to uninstall it. i am therefore using grub2 when i boot.
Way Too Much Ubuntu
Thanks for the guide psyke!
I'm having an issue with jaunty that I am not able to put my finger on
and I'm trying to eliminate various possibilities, one after the other.
The ISSUE: After running jaunty for about a day or so (with a few suspends in between), the system starts using swap heavily and slows down to a crawl. At this point the physical ram (2GB) is under 25% use as per system monitor, but the "free" command shows that its fully used up.
CAUSES: Thru testing, I'm almost sure its not any specific program that I run. Its something in the background.
I have followed your guide verbatim and have tried both the Safe and Optimal configs, but both present the same problem. I havent yet tried to see if a fresh install has the same issue. Are there any changes I could make to your Howto so as to fix my problem? Should I try reverting to original settings?
PS: are these instructions consistent with your guide? Should I try it out?
Thanks,

Hi sancho panza,
could you run "top" in a terminal and then press M (shift-m). This should show you the processes sorted by memory usage. Please post something like the lines for the top 10 processes.
What I see is, that Xorg reserves about a 1Gb of virtual memory after some time:
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
6720 root 20 0 1106m 58m 22m R 4.3 5.9 19:14.02 Xorg
I am not sure if this is a bug.
Cheers
Felix
