    Hardy intel x3100

    Hi.

    Under Hardy is there any way to get the intel x3100 graphics card to work correctly in terms of playing back video (movie player or VLC). I'm not worried about losing compiz, just want to play movies full screen without them tearing and losing lipsync.

    glxgears gives me 275fps after removing compiz, which is pretty darn low.

    TIA

    Wow!!! pretty heavy problem that you have man. My suggestion to you is to buy a video card that is already being supported with ubuntu 7.10 at least. You will be having a hard doing recompilation of the kernel (unless you know to DIY). Search the Linux HCL in google.

    No choice its built into the laptop. Its also pretty common laptop hardware!

    Everything else is 100% Just can only watch video 1/4 screen

    Re: Hardy intel x3100

    I'm confused, I have the i965 (x3100) and compiz and video playback, and everything else works fine for me...

    I guess post all the usual stuff
    Code:
    lscpi | grep VGA
    gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
    glxinfo
    I was pretty sure that xserver-xorg-video-intel pretty much took care of all the issues of the older i810 (although of course I'm using the "intel" driver and I can't get S-video to work, so take it for what it's worth)

    I'm running a Shuttle SG31G2 with the Intel 3100 chip set on the motherboard and the video works great on everything - and I'm running Compiz as well.

    Are you sure you've got all the GStreamer Codecs, etc?

    Re: Hardy intel x3100

    Are you using vesa or the intel driver?

    http://forlong.blogage.de/article/pages/Compiz-Check

    You can go there and download a nice little script called compiz-check if you are unsure what driver you are using.

    The "intel" driver (xserver-xorg-video-intel) should be able to do all sort of nice compiz stuff no problems.

    If you are using "vesa" or "i810" instead of "intel" first do
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel
    then set the driver to "intel" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf and restart X (ctrl+alt+backspace)

    edit: Here's the output of my compiz check, you should want your's to look like this I think
    Code:
    ryan@lappy:~$ ./compiz-check

    I know that my resolution is too high atm, that's not a big deal... I'm at work and using an extended desktop... what's important is that top part.

    I'm using the Xgl Rendering Method, that good or bad? and how would I change that if needed??
