Same problems in Intrepid 8.10 Final, on a Clevo M720R. $ lspci | grep VGA 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
$ glxgears 1917 frames in 5.0 seconds = 383.325 FPS 1880 frames in 5.0 seconds = 375.964 FPS $ glxinfo (...) direct rendering: No (LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT set) server glx vendor string: SGI server glx version string: 1.2 (...) glxgears flickers and stays on top of other windows, render in Google Earth is a complete mess. I have found something strange which could explain comments #30 and #31 : if I switch to root : # glxinfo gives me "direct rendering: yes" and glxgears no longer flickers. # glxgears 2893 frames in 5.0 seconds = 578.459 FPS 2895 frames in 5.0 seconds = 578.897 FPS and it no longer flickers. Why this difference ? However, Google Earth is still messed up. -- Poor graphics performance and rendering errors on Intel GM965 system, Ubuntu 8.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/252094 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
