Subject: [9fans] problems when hwaccel off or in inferno
Date: Sun, 6 Sep 2009 20:36:08 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <a560a5d00909061136w2590301ev99330f3850acf0c8@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hello everyone,
I'd like to ask whether anyone encountered problems when one turns off
the hardware acceleration with
cat hwaccel off > /dev/vgactl
When I do it, my mouse leaves some garbage at some points, or, e.g. I
can't nicely select text with the mouse---there are some pieces
missing.
I found similar problems first in Inferno on plan9 (with hwaccel on in
underlying plan9). When I run it (wm/wm) and e.g. try to close some
window, a small rectangle is sometimes left over after mouse.
When I turn the acceleration off in plan9, I see such problems even in
plan9 itself.
Has anyone any comments on this?
(I'd like to try inferno, but this is annoying.)
I play with HP Omnibook XE3 (some people wanted to chuck it out),I
believe there is an Intel 830M integrated graphic card.
cat /dev/vgactl says I use vesa.
Thanks
Ruda
