2014-10-28 15:21:17 Celian description Using Gnome Ubuntu 14.10, Dell XPS 13, intel 915 Graphics After upgrading from 14.04 to 14.10 there are a lot of places where the graphics are working much slower than they were before: - Gnome Shell Interface is very sluggish, visible "chops" (redrawing) when pressing the [Super] key. - Selecting text in Gedit takes a full second pr. line Experiences some subjective improvement when I booted kernel 3.13.0-37 instead of 3.16.0-23, but that may be my imagination as the problem persists. However one change is apparent: - With the older kernel, video plays smoothly in VLC - With the newer kernel, a video playing in VLC will stop/pause every 2 seconds or so before playin onwards (for 2 seconds..) I've searched google, forums, found a couple of relevant links that point to the issue being the Intel drivers. http://askubuntu.com/questions/53962...E2%86%92-14-10 http://www.webupd8.org/2014/10/ubunt...ent-1652086424 But the drivers currently in 14.10 should be newer than those supplied by Intel to 14.04 so that doesn't make sense to me. As one Intel developer wrote: "I would like to point out that since what we do is bring more ecent versions of the software to the target distributions than they ship with, a 14.04 targeted installer is unlikely to bring much to a 14.10 installation, which most likely has the same or more recent versions already anyway."
