I refer to the new repo posted here
http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/inde...opic=3103779.0
I tried the new repo last night. It didn't help my weedy intel 915 I'm afraid. In fact, it made things worse
Whilst I know it's not the ultimate benchmark GLXgears went down from 1200fps to less than 400fps. Logging out simply resulted in a black screen, as did resume from hibernate, although shut down and restart worked as normal. Removing the new driver (although not the ancillary packages) and replacing it with the default one took me back to how things were before (although I still have no prayer with desktop effects).
Couple of things that occur to me:
My current jaunty installation was an upgrade from Intrepid. Is it possible that there are some settings that have carried forward from intrepid and are messing it up?
From following another thread I noted that my card was shown as having 8mb of "stolen memory". My understanding is that it ought to use much more than this. I also believe that the 8Mb is allocated by the bios but the remainder is meant to be allocated by the OS. In hardy when resetting xorg IIRC there was an option to allocate the memory but that option no longer seems to exist. Has anyone any idea how I will be able to tweak this?
Thanks
