Thank you! I have now followed your How-to as best I was able. There were a couple of things that I did not understand.
please pay attention to this line it is critical issue:
Option "Tiling" "true" # i8xx users: set to false
if your video card is from the old one then i8xx use false!!
if your video card is newer then that please use true!!
I do not know how to determine if mine is from the old one or if it is newer so I left it as it was was written.
The last step will be to open synaptic,and mark all upgrade and apply.
that will upgrade the all process for the cards and the same thing to Nvidia/ATI.
I assumed you meant Synaptic Package Manager. I ran it and looked under all three Graphics headings (*, * multiverse, * universe) using Intel as the search word. I did not see anything. Then I thought it might be that you were referring to Update Manager because you used the term "upgrade," so I ran that. It did not find tell me of any upgrades that I needed. So I am still unsure that I did what you were intending.
However, my graphics performance seems to have increased:
get fences failed: -1
param: 6, val: 0
Running synchronized to the vertical refresh. The framerate should be
approximately 1/25 the monitor refresh rate.
1640 frames in 5.0 seconds = 327.845 FPS
1606 frames in 5.0 seconds = 321.198 FPS
1614 frames in 5.0 seconds = 322.726 FPS
1607 frames in 5.0 seconds = 321.273 FPS
Still not in the thousands like the others but I will happily take the improvement. Although I am still afraid to run games or to try picking any affects (I selected one to do something when I minimized the windows and it made everything draw as black blocks and I had to reinstall Ultimate Edition to get back the ability to use Gnome as everything I did just drew black blocks and I couldn't find my way blind back to the proper program/menu/option to turn it off) but perhaps I will not be afraid now to go through the list of screensavers.
EDIT: I forgot to add the steps that you mentioned in your post in this thread. After doing so and rebooting my scores have gotten a little better:
get fences failed: -1
param: 6, val: 0
Running synchronized to the vertical refresh. The framerate should be
approximately 1/25 the monitor refresh rate.
2291 frames in 5.0 seconds = 458.035 FPS
2011 frames in 5.0 seconds = 402.139 FPS
1666 frames in 5.0 seconds = 333.044 FPS
1667 frames in 5.0 seconds = 333.187 FPS
Should I try changing the "false" line to true?
