http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=928086 Bug ID: 928086 Summary: Intel's driver for GPU 5500 is defective Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: 13.2 Hardware: x86-64 OS: openSUSE 13.2 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel Assignee: kernel-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: j9002j@yahoo.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: Customer Blocker: No Intel's processor Core i5 5200U, and probably several others, come with GPU 5500. Intel has changed the default graphics acceleration method used in GPU's driver from UXA to SNA. But the change was not successful. Under difficult conditions (several windows open, moving windows, video coming from webcam) the graphics on monitor is distorted. Video from webcam is extremely slow, perhaps at 0.2 frames per second. Watching video from webcam can even cause a crash, perhaps related to gfx stack. The solution is found in Ubuntu forums and is to restore the old acceleration method UXA: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2208072 For this, create a file called 20-intel.conf and put it in directory /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ The content of the file is Section "Device" Identifier "Intel Graphics" Driver "intel" Option "AccelMethod" "uxa" EndSection After rebooting, check in Xorg's log file /var/log/Xorg.0.log that the acceleration method indeed has changed to UXA; there shall be a mention about that. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
