[Bug 324292] Re: [i945] (Jaunty) Eschalon Book I runs only in windowed mode and it's terribly slow with Intel video cards

[Geir Ove Myhr]

Thank you for the update, Axx83. You've done a lot of good research.

It seems that the fullscreen issue has been fixed for many other program
by the latest driver update (xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.6.1-1ubuntu2).
This was supposed to fix bug 324913 (which it probably did), but it is
reported that it also fixed bug 326524 where the problem was that many
games would not run fullscreen.

Could you test the updated version once it hits the archives? (it is not
on my mirror yet, but it made it into the 20090210 daily-live at
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/20090210/, you can see it in the
files jaunty-desktop-*.manifest).

The performance issue is probably the same as for many other OpenGL applications. We really hope this can be sorted out for Jaunty. Setting 
        Option "AccelMethod" "UXA
in the Device section of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf may improve performance, but unfortunately it is also not as stable as is required for it to be the default for Jaunty. See https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-x/2009-February/000395.html .
