[PC-BSD] Lenovo Ideacentre A300 / Intel GMA 4500M - terrible slow

[Radek]

Just to show you what I meant with poor performance:

At the begin I click the minimized window of eclipse to get it back to the top. As you can see it needs more than 20 seconds before the window is fully painted :\

Ok, understand.
But anyway, is there some possibility to check which setting are currently used?

Only by checking your log file.

(II) EXA(0): Driver registered support for the following operations:
(II)         Solid
(II)         Copy
(II)         Composite (RENDER acceleration)

You are using EXA, which is good. It's accelerating those specific drawing functions.

(II) intel(0): direct rendering: XF86DRI Enabled

Direct Rendering is enabled in the X server, which is also good.

(II) AIGLX: Loaded and initialized /usr/local/lib/dri/i965_dri.so

Accelerated indirect GLX is enabled, which is also good.

(WW) intel(0): Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" is not used
(WW) intel(0): Option "RenderAccel" is not used
(WW) intel(0): Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" is not used
(WW) intel(0): Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" is not used

None of these are valid options with the current intel driver. There should be no harm in having them in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, but there's certainly no need for them.

By all accounts, your X server is setup and configured the way it should be. I will admit, though, that 20 seconds to redraw eclipse is an awfully long time. I really have no explanation for that.

EDIT: These is part of the reason that I've stopped recommending intel GPUs to FreeBSD users.

I should stuck with NVidia, I never had any problems with these video cards.
But it's too late now.

Thank you very much for your help.

Ok, I just switched to Gnome ( it's reminded why I'm using KDE ). It's seems to work a bit better than KDE.
Thanks to everybody for help
