Public bug reported: I don't know whether I am reporting this against the right package.
I have an acer laptop with these GPUs: - GPU0: Intel HD Graphics 4000 (M) - GPU1: NVIDIA GeForce GT 710M with Optimus technology. I know getting the NVidia card to work is as complicated as hell, so I gave up on that. However, I expect the Intel GPU to work at its full potential out of the box. Instead, I ran several benchmark test tools and they perform very poorly, indicating that everything is being rendered by software. On moderately complex 3D graphics tests I get frame rates around 18fps, while on the most trivial tests (like a rotating horse with no texture whatsoever) I get 60fps at most. By googling around I've found some how-to's for getting hardware acceleration to work, but they are either unclear or incomplete or they contraddict one another, and none of them is official. I shouldn't be supposed to do perform complicated installations and configurations. Support for all the available hardware acceleration power, at least on the integrated GPU, should work right out of the box.
