Users with Intel HD graphics: is your glx working?

linux-howto

http://crunchbang.org – I discovered something yesterday which I've been able to solve. Still, I'd like to know how and why my system had this issue, so I'd like to ask people here to check whether or not their glx (direct rendering) is working.I was messing around with the new Firefox 18 and landed on a site that told me hardware acceleration was not available on my system. I thought that was strange, as I have a beefy system (though I do use Intel graphics).After a lot of searching, I finally managed to track down the problem. It turns out glx was not working on my system. I found this out by using t (HowTos)

Hi there, I am sure that my 3D graphic system is not working because every time I start VMplayer (virtual machine) it states that ' This computer doesn't have a 3D graphic system supported by VMware player'

Hello all,

I have two completely different systems running Ubuntu 11.04.

Firefox version is 10.0.2

When I first open Firefox for regular browsing, it is fast without any problems.

However, after maybe an hour or so of use and opening/closing tabs here and there, Firefox gets slower.

"Your system currently is not capable of hardware accelerated 3D." stupid error. anyway i finally installed fedora 11 and thought i had everything working and then i go to play a game and.. "Your system currently is not capable of hardware accelerated 3D" in ubuntu it had an alert that installed the correct graphics driver and everything was fine but fedora doesn't do that.

Hi,

i recently got an Asus laptop with intel core i3-350m and hence the integrated (on cpu) intel graphics.

it was a real nightmare for me to even install opensuse 11.2 as i would get the black screen when X is about to start, until i managed to set the video driver to vesa.

It's that good ol' time again: Fedora 18 Graphics Test Week is here.

It all kicks off tomorrow (or today, depending on your timezone) - Tuesday 2012-09-25, with Nouveau (NVIDIA) Test Day.

you can have a look at this...

Gathering information about your system...

Distribution: Ubuntu 9.04 Desktop environment: GNOME

My laptop uses a hybrid graphics hardware.

Using the vgaswitcheroo I am able to power off either card and switch between them correctly.

The issue is that the system wakes up/resumes from suspend correctly only when using the discrete graphics, or atleast the discrete graphics must be powered on even if the display is connected to the onboard intel card.

Has anyone faced this issues?

about Ubuntu 12.04, but possibly affecting more. after some updates of middle of last week, xserver-xorg-video-intel frequently causes crash of xorg, such that keyboard doesnt work, only the mouse cursor can be moved around.
