Modesetting driver on intel in 16.10 is choppy and not smooth

[Robert weaver]

Upgraded a working version of 16.04 to 16.10 Ubuntu . Intel graphics chip (details to arrive later )
 When running gfx gears fps is a healthy 48-58 fps , but when other movements are made on screen this drops terrible . Chrome browser is extremely slow to use . Firefox also slow but faster that chrome .
 Installed latest Intel drivers & Mesa drivers ( version to arrive later) from compiled sourced .

 This is a i7 with 16 gig of ram 128 gig ssd and 1tb home dir .

 Wobberly Windows is rough and jerky . Other symptoms are opening terminal from unitity dock takes ages . And usining nautilus can freeze the screen for several seconds .

 Please advis On info required to help with this .

would be more helpful to just install xdiagnose and running 'apport-collect 1612863'

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Confirmed by duplicate.

But see also Chrome bug 1615871.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Would it be better to make this a duplicate of bug 1632165?
