 Posted: Thu Nov 27, 2014 1:42 am Post subject: [solved] Extremely laggy 3d acceleration w/ intel graphics |
 |
|
Hi all, last month I tried installing steam via the overlay and I ran into a little performance problem (it was extremely slow like 1 frame every two or three seconds) blamed the overlay, then installed the program manually but the same problem persisted. Let it alone for a while and today I decided to charge at it again and I think it can only be a driver problem.
Some relevant info:
uname -a
| Code: | | Linux mare 3.16.5-gentoo #1 SMP Mon Nov 17 13:47:33 EST 2014 i686 Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3520M CPU @ 2.90GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux |

Originally, per the official intel website which states the i7-3520M (HD graphics 4000) is a 3rd generation processor and per the wiki I set
VIDEO_CARD="intel i915"
i915 for mesa and intel for xorg.
In this thread https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-927876-start-0.html its said that for mesa the intel covers both i965 and i915 but only if neither i915 or i965 are set. But I find that both flags are up
equery uses mesa
| Code: | + + video_cards_i915 : VIDEO_CARDS setting to build driver for Intel i915 video cards
- + video_cards_i965 : VIDEO_CARDS setting to build driver for Intel i965 video cards
- - video_cards_ilo : VIDEO_CARDS setting to build unofficial gallium driver for Intel gen6/7 video cards
+ + video_cards_intel : VIDEO_CARDS setting to build driver for Intel video cards |
Contrary to the wiki, in this thread its said that HD 4000 needs the i965
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-927758-highlight-.html
Also more conflicting info Im getting is between the wiki feature matrix and this intel website https://01.org/linuxgraphics/community/vaapi concerning VAAPI support ...
Anyway Im kinda lost and dont know what to do and my head hurts.

Hallelujah big picture mode is running smoothly so HL2 based games should be the same.
I remember encountering this same problem with archlinux a few months back but I have no idea how I could have solved it without use flags, maybe some environment variables and some symlinking but anyway.
i7-3520M (3rd generation CPU, with integrated HD Graphics 4000) => VIDEO_CARDS="intel i965"
Recompile mesa. My head still hurts. |
