Description of problem: Video performance is very bad. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Acer Aspire One (0751h) Graphics card: Intel Poulsbo, gma500 kernel-3.3.4-5.fc17.i686 xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.19.0-1.fc17.i686 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot up from live CD (tested Fedora-17-i686-Live-Desktop.iso) 2. wait for X to start, try to move some windows 3. notice unresponsive graphics performance Actual results: Slow graphics. Notebook is practically unusable slow. Expected results: Comparable 2D performance to Windows on same notebook. Fedora 14 had better performance with 3rd party drivers. Additional info: Not sure about correct component, please move.
The Acer Aspire One 0751h netbook seems similar in specs to my Dell Inspiron Mini 12. The new opensource gma500 driver doesn't have 3D acceleration. AFAIK, there are not plans to add that feature. If you're trying to use Gnome Shell (i.e. Gnome 3) on this netbook, 3D acceleration is required. Have you tried fallback mode? I have been using XFCE on my netbook. It is reasonably responsive. There are still some glitches with the gma500 driver, though.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '17'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 17 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-07-30. Fedora 17 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
