dmesg info
I use Testday-20090909.iso today for testing, and I found when KMS is enabled, the system is still very slow. I could see a high CPU usage(about 15%-35%) of X process on top. I noticed everything in X is terribly slow, I haven't even managed to log in from init 5, startx from init 3 got me working, but it looks like screen is refreshed about once per second and starting even small application like the run app applet took about 15 minutes... Everything in tty seems to work in normal speed though and after switch from X the CPU usage drops after a while from 100 % (used up by X) to almost 0. I've used the Testday-20090909.iso. It's pretty much same with and without KMS. Created attachment 360857 [details]
Xorg log file -- Dell Inspiron Mini 9
On my Dell Inspiron Mini 9 (Intel 945GME), the latest batch of updates:
$ rpm -q xorg-x11-server-Xorg xorg-x11-drv-intel
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.6.99.900-1.fc12.i686
xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.8.0-13.20090909.fc12.i686
causes everything to go much slower than before. The system is more-or-less usable with metacity, but I used to be able to run mutter/libgnome-shell with no problem. Now
- with KMS, mutter is totally unusable: the windows would flickr on and off, while the background is displayed OK
- without KMS, mutter is terribly slow. had to switch to metacity to get a usable system

lspci -vv (Dell Inspiron Mini 9)
add Regression keyword. Since this bug does not exist in 20090908 but exsits in 20090909. intel driver in 20090909 was xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.8.0-13.20090909.fc12.i686 while xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.8.0-11.20090908.fc12.i686 in 20090908. the xorg-x11-server-Xorg version was the same. Apparently a regression in intel driver, so propose F12 blocker. lspci -nn (not -vv) output from all suffering from this problem would be nice. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers Created attachment 363392 [details]
lspci -nn
My lspcsi -nn output. I hope it's OK that it's from F11. I have to also add that I had this issue in the Testday-20090909.iso but not in Snapshot 3 Live (haven't looked which version of the driver is there though).
yeah, doesn't matter what release it's from. working in snap3 is hopeful...could you and other sufferers test the latest nightly live CD: http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/desktop/ and see how that behaves? -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers (In reply to comment #11) > working in snap3 is hopeful...could you and other sufferers test the latest > nightly live CD: > > http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/desktop/ > I've downloaded and tried desktop-i386-20090930.16.iso. I can confirm it works for me. xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.8.0-16.20090909.fc12.i686 Caspar, please try comment #11 when you are back from the vacation. (In reply to comment #13) > Caspar, please try comment #11 when you are back from the vacation. System works on desktop-i386-20091010.21.iso I tried both with and without KMS, system ran normally when login to desktop. on desktop-i386-20091010.21.iso I think we can close this, then.
