[Bug 679373] New: xorg-x11-driver-video-intel-legacy is broken for Intel 915G(M) graphics.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=679373 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=679373#c0 Summary: xorg-x11-driver-video-intel-legacy is broken for Intel 915G(M) graphics. Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.4 Version: Final Platform: i586 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: X11 3rd Party Driver AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: neil@darlow.co.uk QAContact: sndirsch@novell.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:2.0b12) Gecko/20110222 Firefox/4.0b12 The release notes for openSUSE-11.4 direct you to use "intellegacy" in the case that the "intel" Xorg driver causes problems. For Intel 915G(M) graphics (in my case an EeePC 900) the intellegacy driver fixes a problem with broken text rendering but there are issues with openSUSE-11.4: 1) In GNOME it causes GDM to endlessly crash and respawn. You cannot login. 2) In KDE it causes some applications e.g. MozillaFirefox and Chromium to crash the session. You are returned to the KDM login. The regular intel driver does not exhibit the behaviour of (1) and (2) above but character rendering is broken. Another issue with 915G(M) graphics and openSUSE-11.4 is that performance is considerably worse than with openSUSE-11.3. Desktop Effects are no longer possible on my EeePC 900 because you have to wait > 5 seconds for any GIU action to happen after initiating it. This does not seem to be the case with GNOME Desktop Effects (Compiz) which work rather well. I assume this to be a problem with the new Plasma of KDE-4.6.0. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install openSUSE-11.4 KDE i586 on a 915G(M) equipped system 2. Edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-device.conf to add -> Driver "intellegacy" 3. Restart X and login to KDE 4. Execute MozillaFirefox-4-Beta12 Actual Results: The session crashes and you are returned to KDM login after executing firefox. Expected Results: Firefox should execute normally - which it does with the "intel" driver. This is a fresh install of openSUSE-11.4 with the only repositories added being: openSUSE BuildService - KDE:Extra for akonadi-googledata and libgcal0 Main Repository (Contrib) for the crash test with Chromium -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

What I'm wondering is how could you figure out that compiz on top of GNOME works when you can't login in into GNOME?
You can login to GNOME with the standard "intel" driver. Read the report again, it is in there :-; -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
