According to the comment from Gordon Jin from the bug report, you need kernel version 2.6.28 and either the master branch or xf86-video-intel-2.6-branch or the upcoming 2.6 release of the intel driver.

#Fedora 26 install intel graphics driver update

I found the MythTV is essentially useless to me with the driver in the current state so I’m going to attempt to update manually. Last time I did (which was before they dropped imake support) it was not a simple process. Even I’m not inclined to grab that source and build it. I don’t recommend that for the average user, however. Until F10 updates the xorg-x11-drv-i810 package (which hold the intel video driver), there isn’t much you can do about this short of compiling the driver yourself from X.org’s source. The playback doesn’t drop many frames but the video is blurry, especially action shots like live sports.

This allows the realtime priority threads to function. Playback Profiles: Set Current Video Playback Profile to Slim.General Playback: Enable realtime priority threads.The best configuration I can get from this is to go under Setup->TV Settings->Playback and change the following: However it does affect the quality of video playback under the MythTV frontend. Disabling acceleration isn’t a problem for me so far, especially since the older F9 configuration specified that anything over 2048×2048 (which is what I need for my dual monitors) would disable 3D support anyway.

The workaround is to disable acceleration in the driver by adding the noaccel option (see my F10 nf file for an example). This is a known problem (see the Red Hat report and the associated bug reports on the intel driver and GEM) that may be fixed but the latest F10 updates (as of ) apparently do not include the fix. If you specify the Virtual entry in that section of the nf file the gdm greeter locks up the system before you can login and use the new configuration. This will increase the default size to something large enough to fit both monitors.Īnd here is where things broke with F10. What is required is a Virtual entry in the Screen Display section of the nf. The reason it fails is that the default virtual display size is too small to place the monitors side by side (or even top and bottom) in the video memory space. This works fine for singlehead configuration (just the LCD, for example) but fails with the external monitor. With F10 there is no nf file – the configuration is automatically determined by the driver. With Fedora 9 and prior the setup for using multihead with the intel driver required making changes to the nf file.

*sigh* However, I still use the laptop as a frontend while working, with an external monitor used for normal use and the LCD as my TV screen. Note: Use of the laptop as a MythTV frontend is no longer much of an issue now that the big screen TV died right before xmas.

The VGA port I use when giving talks at user groups or presentations at work. The latter I use when I use the laptop as a MythTV frontend and plug into the big screen TV. The laptop, my trusty Acer Aspire 1691WLMi with Intel i915GM graphics, offers output to the LCD, an external VGA port and a TV out. Of course, that didn’t work out of the box. However, my laptop supports dual monitors.

The upgrade went fairly smoothly following the information from my previous post on upgrading a MythTV server to F10. Over the holidays I upgraded my laptop to Fedora 10 (previously I had only upgraded my MythTV server).
