HD4400 tearing...

Hi

I m not sure about the support level of the HD4000 gfx (Haswell) the wiki says "supported"
but the tearing even when I scroll on firefox is tragic.
I installed and enabled the drm-kmod and even created a device config file (20-intel.conf) under xorg.conf.d
but still the tearing exists, any ideas or I am wasting my time with the FreeBSD trying to work with that gfx?

thx
 
Hello,

do you have set in your config option "TearFree" "true" ?

Btw i have enabled in about:config layers.acceleration.force-enabled to make scrolling in firefox smoother. Maybe it can fix your tearing aswell?
 
hi

this is my 20-intel.conf
I did not include the driver "intel" as the startx does not start
(says unknown driver)

Code:
Section "Device"
    Identifier     "Card0"
    Option "AccelMethod" "SNA"
    Option "TearFree" "true"
EndSection

looks like freebsd is not for my system, darn
 
cheeers !! that is! many thanks!!!!!!!

darn sorry mate it ages since I used freebsd and I totally forgot
what was the procedure, I though the HD4400 was supported
only by the drm-kmod

There is no need to apologize for that, everyone once had no idea 🙂

No problem, normally just installing drm-kmod should be fine and the modesetting driver from xorg-server takes care of that. But for some extras or situations an additional xorg driver is needed. (For example xf86-video-amdgpu is needed for FreeSync). Using the default driver (modesetting) for intel is recommended, you can try putting Driver "modesetting" instead of Driver "intel" if you feel uncomfortable.
 
believe me I googled about it on the web, but its a lot of info and based on older versions, so confusing..
