Originally posted by deanjo View PostWell after owning an intel based i3 system for about a month now, I honestly can't understand how anyone can say the intel drivers are in great shape in linux. I've had more graphic corruption, misdraws, sync and video playback issues with the i3's graphics then I ever had with any nvidia card that I have owned.
btw, h264 hardware decoding on Ironlake is slower then software.

Anyway i agree however that there is not enough competition.

Originally posted by deanjo View PostWhich brings me to another huge gripe with opendrivers, why the heck is there not a gui that lets you to change these options without having to revert to editing config files other then basic XRandR settings? It's papercuts like this that hold linux back and feed the trolls with ammo to dig at linux.
I'm now thoroughly confused.

That being said there is Sax3, but it is still fairly limited so far as well. Old Sax2 you could set any setting under the sun.Last edited by deanjo; 06 July 2012, 02:33 PM.
