Create a file named "20-intel.conf" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d containing Section "Device" Identifier "Card0" Driver "intel" Option "AccelMethod" "SNA" EndSection to choose SNA or Section "Device" Identifier "Card0" Driver "intel" Option "NoAccel" "True" EndSection to switch off acceleration completely. Restart your graphical environment afterwards. You may want to boot with "i915.i915_enable_rc6=0", too. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
