Given that these drivers have not been maintained in years i would be surprised to suddenly see people stepping up to maintain them.

That means roughly 10% of loc vanished. That's a pretty impressive cleanup.

How many left?

I guess what they need to know is whether anyone actually uses 3D on these old chips and at the same time would use a brand new distribution with the latest Mesa? Also as far as i understand 2D would...

Well, Cyborg16 already gave all the useful hints. All i did was adding the following to my rc.local:


echo 1 > /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save

It is a Dell Latitude E6420. Core i5@2.3 GHz. Intel graphics card. 1600x900 screen. 97 Wh battery. Standard 7200RPM hard drive. To see the consumption i just use powertop2. When the AC is not plugged...

I guess it really depends on the laptop. With my SB, with 3.0 i get typically 8-10 hours of battery life doing web browsing, with power saving options activated it drains about 10W. I do not have...

On Sandy Bridge, the regression in the 3.0 kernel is probably caused by the graphics card. If you add i915.i915_enable_rc6=1 to the boot kernel options the power consumption goes back to previous...

Ah thanks, i think i see what you mean. So for instance an incomplete pipe driver might be able to run only some ST for instance due to some missing implementations?

Hi,

There is something i do not quite understand in this matrix. I thought the aim of Gallium was to write only one driver per pipe and once this driver written, all state trackers would work...

Sorry but i find this article a tad bit sexist. I know many men more interested in cooking than in linux and a certain amount of women more interested in linux than in cooking. Besides at home,...

ATI plays the opensource game (partially at least) releasing docs to make Free drivers and their binary driver runs KDE 4 perfectly. Intel shows decent performance with KDE 4 too. So far NVidia has...

Not constructive? KDE 4 is simply not usable at all with the nvidia driver. Konsole takes several seconds display when minised. The effects run at 2 to 3 fps. Moving windows is extremely shaky. My...

I had a foolish hope when i saw that: "Fixed an X driver performance problem on integrated GPUs." Unfortunately the performace is as catastrophic as usual on my NVS 135M under KDE 4 with composite...

After having tested it for some time finally i think there is some improvement on NVS135M. Far from perfect, especially in Twinview which gives quite a hit to the performances.

And as usual the performance on the NVS 135M is abysmal with KDE. When will they finally to decide to fix it? I have bought this card, i want working drivers. KDE has been out for almost a year. That...

Is there a difference between having powermizer activated with the clock speed always set at the highest level and having powermizer completely deactivated whatsoever? This is however hardly...

And ... still dog slow on my NVS 135M. I am not sure this driver will ever get fixed on laptops. KDE has been out for 8 months now and still the same problems. :(

Yes, unfortunately.

It is still far from being reasonably correct. On my NVS 135M, in KDE 4.1, it takes a good 4-5 seconds just to resize konsole for instance. Try moving the folderview plasmoid, it is shaky (also the...
