Intel GMA 900 Terrible Performance!

Asked by Marshamk

Hey guys

Ubuntu Noob Here. I have a Sony Vaio with an Intel GMA 900 128MB card running Ubuntu Jaunty. I am having a horrible time getting the graphics card to cooperate. Windows are really choppy, glx gears only pulls about 450 fps, and tux racer barely moves. I understand this to be a common issue, but I haven't found a resolution yet....Please help!!!

 Here is my xorg.conf file:

Section "Monitor"
 Identifier "Configured Monitor"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
 Identifier "Default Screen"
 Monitor "Configured Monitor"
 Device "Configured Video Device"
 SubSection "Display"
  Virtual 2304 800
 EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "Device"
 Identifier "Configured Video Device"
EndSection

Also turning off the compiz-visual-effects will help a lot (if not already turned off).

System - Settings - Appearance - Visual-Effects -> none
