This is ridiculous.

Sorry, you're right, I misunderstood your question....

That's what I ended up with. The iGPU does all the desktop stuff and the dGPU goes to a VM (for games). Luckily most CPUs have iGPUs now and mobos come...

How common are 4k pages anyway? I use 64k pages on all but the tiniest ARM machines.

I wish there was some kind of public pool for profiling data. It's possible to merge profliling data across different runs, so with some caveats a database...

These are fundamental problems when using overlays. How does Wayland handle this?



Ah, I see....

[binarybanana]

Right, I had not considered the overhead of doing extra copies. I just checked and it seems like Xv supports shared memory via XvShmPutImage[0]. So presumably...

[binarybanana]

Dunno about easy, but I'm pretty sure the hardware overlay on Intel hardware at least is useable with compositing enabled (via Xv). No reason an X11 compositor...

[binarybanana]

No, you need the opposite of what this does: a way to export buffers of the window content and import them as texture in the game....

[binarybanana]

Isn't matching content fps exactly without frame drops (or tearing or latency) the whole point of VRR? So that means the current implementation is la...

[binarybanana]

Unless something changed recently nvidia-settings needs to communicate with the Xorg nvidia video driver so that won't work.

EDIT: I think...

[binarybanana]

Xwayland is mostly Xorg with input/output handled by Wayland. It's similar to Xnest, nesting Wayland compositors or running Weston in a regular window...

[binarybanana]

I like it, but Intel seems to think it's not worth the cost of developing further. Maybe plans for proper hardware SR-IOV coming with the dGPUs played...

[binarybanana]

While "GVT-g" (as Intel calls it) works well on some older iGPU generations, the implementation is at least partially, if not mostly software...

I've veen using GIMP3 for a while now. Can't tell much of a difference other than the splash screen. Which might vor might not be a good thing, but hat...

It's about on par with BFS/MuQSS from -ck (crazy good), not surprising since they're all based on the same algorithm....
