Guide to Get the Best Performace from the GMA 500

[lucazade]

With the nokia and karmic, to have sound, we need to put this into the xorg:
Option "AccelMethod" "UXA"

Then in nokia we don't use EXA, that it's true?

Psb drivers don't support UXA... so that option is useless

I'm using minimal xorg.conf that came with latest installation, sound is fine and video works in VLC but not in movieplayer.

I tried tu put that line into xorg.conf but the log said me that the driver ommit the tag "AccelMethod".

I'm installing karmic again at now

. I'll pray for a fix into the next version of xorg How can we pressure them to fix it?

Well, with only 600 members, I don't think anyone will notice. Bring in friends, family, people from the street.

I've also joined this group, but something tells me that Intel are not looking at it. I think what we need is for all 600+ members to write something on the Intel Forums!
I'm currently running Ubuntu 9.10 and the benchmark in Compiz varies from 26fps to 46fps. Is there a way to make this more stable? and to run 3D games like Warzone 2100 quicker too?

Well, you should stop running Compiz, that's for sure. Other then that, I don't think you can do much. I've posted it before and can only repeat - Intel has a trend of poor, bad, worse and none, when it comes to graphics drivers for Linux. If you want to play 3d games, go for Nvidia/ATI.
