KDE4.2 with desktop effects, Intel card: any fix?

KDE4.2 with desktop effects enabled on my Intel 945 graphic card is extremely slow and unstable. It is slow even to scroll up and down a window. And regarding stability, kde often exits to kdm, and kde often crashes the X server completely (Ctrl+Atl+F1 and Ctrl+Atl+Backspace not working) as well. Both effects are (more or less) gone if I disable desktop effects.

True, the intel card is not an ATI or NVIDIA, but KDE3.5 with translucencies, and gnome with compiz, used to work OK in this computer. I have libgl and mesa installed.

Any ideas? Thank you

Re: KDE4.2 with desktop effects, Intel card: any fix?

i have an intel x3100(gm965/gl960) with kde4.2, xorg-server1.6, kwin effects and works really nice, even can run kde4-svn under virtualbox with kwin using xrender and no crash.

Only artifacts using kms with kdm, but can live with that

PD: no xorg.conf

Re: KDE4.2 with desktop effects, Intel card: any fix?

I have no xorg.conf either. Is it maybe that my card is lower than yours?

Re: KDE4.2 with desktop effects, Intel card: any fix?

Well, I noticed in the KDE system settings that I was using OpenGL as compositing type. I am now trying Xrender, let's see whether that is better.

Re: KDE4.2 with desktop effects, Intel card: any fix?

It is getting ridiculous with intel, xorg-server and desktop effects. Some people have it working, some doesn't: seems pretty random to me. Here for example desktop effects are working with kms, UXA enabled but there is a huge memory leak (the same with EXA). So after a while all my ram is used by X until the desktop locks and I have to reboot.

@alleluia20: what are your kernel options and could you post the output of lspci ( the line with your intel card) Mine looks like this

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c)

My girlfriend has the same card but different revision and rarely has lockups.

Re: KDE4.2 with desktop effects, Intel card: any fix?

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)

By using Xrender rather than OpenGL things are not that bad, but not perfect either, e.g., several screensavers crash X (I am now using blank screen).

In the old times (two years ago) I had to add by hand Option "AccelMethod" "EXA", otherwise video players would come out of video ram and crash. Now I am not using any xorg.conf.

Thank you.

Re: KDE4.2 with desktop effects, Intel card: any fix?

there are several problems with xorg server 1.5 and 1.6. server 1.4 used to work but is broken now

i try to fix similar problem (crashes - with intel-legacy too !) on my computer right now. i gonna give the solution if i come up with it

Re: KDE4.2 with desktop effects, Intel card: any fix?

Intel 945 with KDE need a xorg.conf with greedy acceleration actived:

Section "Device"
       Option        "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy"
Identifier  "VideoCard0"
    Driver      "intel"
    VendorName  "Intel Corporation"
    BoardName   "Mobile 945GME Express Integrated Graphics Controller"
    BusID       "PCI:0:2:0"
EndSection

With this option, KDE effects works very fluid but there is a bug with tray icons:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/kdebase/+bug/247393

the icons don't draw good.

Bye

P.D. Sorry for my english

Re: KDE4.2 with desktop effects, Intel card: any fix?

Thank you. That bug report reads "fix released". Did anyone try whether that bug is actually fixed in the current Arch packages?

Thank you.

Re: KDE4.2 with desktop effects, Intel card: any fix?

Hmm, I have an intel 945 gm, and performance has been bad for quite a while; until I recently updated to 2.6.29 + xserver 1.6 + latest intel driver. I enabled the testing repository when I updated, so I'm not sure if those packages have hit stable yet.
Anyway, here is my xorg.conf:

before upgrading, xaa acceleration gave me good enough performance, but not on par with half a year ago, and nowhere near the performance of the newest driver (although X did freeze twice with it).

Re: KDE4.2 with desktop effects, Intel card: any fix?

I have an Intel 945 and everything works fine so far...I'm using openGL since xrender tends to be slow..

With regards to your ctrl+alt+backspace, you need to disable DontZap on your xorg.conf.:)

Atm I had enabled kms on my netbook so I don't use this xorg.conf....But with kms enabled, my netbook tend to hangs...:(

Also with uxa being used, the hang also appears even without kms enabled so what I do is to change it to exa instead..;)

Re: KDE4.2 with desktop effects, Intel card: any fix?

Yesterday, xorg-server 1.6.1 was released. Maybe you can give it a try and compile it yourself since they fixed a couple of things.

I remember that I read somewhere that "Option      "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy"" is not needed any more. It used to fix broken icons in the system tray but now...?

Edit:
By the way

Has anyone use the:

00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02)

KMS doesn't work for me (screen gets black while booting and nothing more)

Re: KDE4.2 with desktop effects, Intel card: any fix?

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)

Alleluia20, I have the very same graphics card (see first post below). Using the xf86-video-intel-legacy package, I have acceptable performance with the xorg.conf given in the following posting: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … 67#p530267

However, I have redrawing issues and the longer the system runs, the more crap appears on my screen. I have thus moved back to my own set of legacy packages until things are sorted out (or until I try again, I can't just sit and wait... ): http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=66057

Both ways should give you good performance for Kwin effects. Check out the Systemsettings options given in the first post I linked.

thanks i'll try

KMS doesn't work for me (screen gets black while booting and nothing more)

I have the same card, yup KMS doesn't work, it gives me small unstreched screen in the top left corner.

edit: oke, fixed this with a few xrandr, but performance is poorer than exa

Re: KDE4.2 with desktop effects, Intel card: any fix?

edit: oke, fixed this with a few xrandr, but performance is poorer than exa

What do you mean by fixing it by xrandr?

I use EXA and its faster then UXA for me, but the legacy3D option is necessary

Edit:

With the xorg-server 1.6.1 EXA works for me without Legacy3D option

Re: KDE4.2 with desktop effects, Intel card: any fix?

@Superchango: very good! I installed the driver from testing but things were not good yet. I tried building an xorg.conf (not an easy task) and adding your options for "Device". OpenGL is not good but Xrender is much smoother now!

Now I wonder how you found out all these options for xorg.conf

Thank you again
