A fresh Xubuntu 18.04.1 install (from an ISO), on a machine with only the Intel integrated graphics (i9-9900k => UHD-630). The graphic drivers module seem to be properly loaded, but X rendering seems to fallback to LLVMpipe.
This was the case immediately after the install. The performance of the SW rendering improved after the first update with the latest packages but it is still very problematic, for ex. Eclipse has very severe flashing glitches as it redraws the editor windows.

I tried to get the latest stable mesa from ubuntu-x-swat/updates but it did not help (I ppa-purge'd it before generating the bug report)
