Ideas for using intel graphics

I've got two laptops, one with i830 the other with i852/855GM. Neither works with KMS(kernel modesetting). The i830 just has a black screen with KMS. The i855 works for a little while until it completely freezes.
The i830 laptop works well with the nomodeset grub kernel option and the 2.9.1 driver. Fails completely with KMS enabled and doesn't work at all with 2.10 as that has no UMS(user modesetting). Suspend/resume doesn't work well. The vesa driver doesn't work well with the i830, not sure why.
The i855 freezes with KMS , the 2.10 driver doesn't support UMS and the 2.9 driver doesn't work at all. I've removed the xf86-video-intel driver and set xorg to use the vesa driver. I've had no issues using the vesa driver with suspend/resume actually working.
I would like comments on issues with older graphics cards and newer versions of xorg. There seems to be a trend where support for older graphics cards is being dropped by the manufacturers and the older drivers are also being dropped by xorg.

I don't have a notebook, but my IBM Netvista works only w/ intel-legacy:
[karol@black arch]$ lspci | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01)
I have KMS enabled and get no lock-ups, but once I get into X, I can't go back to the console (the screen is garbled, but otherwise works fine).
This is my downgrade script:
#!/bin/bash
pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/xorg-server-1.6.3.901-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz \
/var/cache/pacman/pkg/xorg-server-utils-7.4-7-i686.pkg.tar.gz \
/var/cache/pacman/pkg/xf86-video-intel-legacy-2.3.2-3-i686.pkg.tar.gz \
/var/cache/pacman/pkg/xf86-video-vesa-2.2.0-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz \
/var/cache/pacman/pkg/xf86-input-evdev-2.2.5-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz \
/var/cache/pacman/pkg/xf86-input-keyboard-1.3.2-2-i686.pkg.tar.gz \
/var/cache/pacman/pkg/xf86-input-mouse-1.4.0-2-i686.pkg.tar.gz \
/var/cache/pacman/pkg/intel-dri-7.5.1-2-i686.pkg.tar.gz \
/var/cache/pacman/pkg/libgl-7.5.1-2-i686.pkg.tar.gz \
/var/cache/pacman/pkg/libdrm-2.4.19-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz
in my pacman.conf I have
IgnorePkg = xorg-server xorg-server-utils xf86-video-intel-legacy xf86-video-vesa xf86-input-evdev xf86-input-keyboard xf86-input-mouse intel-dri libgl libdrm
I tried many different drivers, libdrm etc. - nothing worked. W/ the above setup I have no complaints.

Using Intel graphics in Windows on Macbook Pro Retina Late 2013 ?

I own a Macbook Pro Retina 15" Late 2013 with Nvidia GT750M graphics.
On Windows, the power consumption and heat production is noticeable higher than on OSX.
People said this is due the Nvidia GT750M being constantly used, because there is officially no way to switch to the more power saving Intel Graphics on Windows.
I have found a extremely tricky way to switch the graphics, but unfortunately I have no idea how I do this:

GT60 2PC 3K keeps using intel graphics instead of nvidia?

Hiya, having incredibly frustrating issues with my GT60 here.
Out of the box, this thing works relatively OK, except the version of Win 8 that's installed on it has some memory leak issues when running fullscreen applications. No big deal, run windows update and that turned out be sorted. However, now its got the awful Intel onboard graphics as the main graphics processor. Majority of games won't start because it won't support direct X and other shenanigans like that. Disabling the intel graphics in device manager had some small effect, I actually got my games to start but as soon as they try to render anything more than a loading screen, i get "out of video memory" errors, so it's like it's still refusing to use the nvidia card. This was all working fine before I did any windows updates except for the random memory leaks that would suddenly lag the crap out of games for a while. Anyone had any issues like this with a GT60 3K or similar series? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Hello gorgoncola
Have you tried to recover the system and try the same scenario?
Is your game running okay on a clean-recovered system? Or it actually didn't run on NVIDIA graphics card?
Not all applications are detected by NVIDIA graphics driver and sometimes you'll need to manually add them to the detecting list (in the NVIDIA Control Panel) to automatically switch to NVIDIA graphics card to run them.

How to make MacBook Pro use intel Graphic card only?

When unpluged, my 15' pro always use AMD praphic makes my battery only work for 2-3 hours. Is there a way to stop computer using AMD graphic card when i'm not playing game???

Try using this software (It is 3rd party but it is safe) called gfxCardStatus. It just places itself on the top bar or side bar (not the dock) it will probably be a d in italics (this is italics for those who don't know) or an i. Just click on it and click on the Integrated Only option in the bar which will switch the card to the original integrated graphics card. Also, check for dependencies bellow the "Dynamic Switching" option (if there isn't just skip this) dependencies can cause changes to your graphics card usage and may be the problem; for me it was but who knows it might be some internal error. If you don't trust me I totally understand just putting it up there for those who want it. You can follow the above option by "ds store" which might also work.

What is the best size for using a graphic as my homepage?

I am building my website in iWeb
My graphic designer is going to send me a graphic that I want to use as my homepage graphic - I will input some text.
He keeps asking me what size graphic I want (he charges by size)
If this means file size is my answer 72dpi/ppi = the most efficient?
What size should image be from graphic designer? in inches? in pixels? in KB and MB?
Is GIF format is best?
I want this to be nearly the full page size. It will be in Black Red and White (the white being a bright white, the red a deep almost crimson)
I'm a novice. Need good advice for placing this graphic into iWeb as my homepage... Mahalo ~!~

According to Apple, the width of most webpages is 980 pixels. If you request that your graphic designer make a JPEG image of approximately that width, you can then use this free, online tool to reduce its file size without affecting its perceptual quality:
http://www.jpegmini.com
If the image appears too slowly in a browser, you could reduce its file size further (with a loss of quality) via the Preview app:
Preview 5.0 Help: Reducing an image’s file size
Also see the option in iWeb's Preferences “Optimize images on import.”

I too am having a primary/secondary graphics card issue.
I have two graphics cards installed, a GTX 760 and a Quadro K600. the gtx 760 is configured as the primary graphics card yet lightroom insists on using the quadro, ( a slower card ) for the GPU acceleration.
For me, it is not acceptable to disable the quadro in order to get the gtx 760 to be the GPU accelerator.
Is there anything in the works to be able to choose from the preferences performance panel which GPU to use? Photoshop picks the correct GPU, so why doesn't LR???
Thanks in advance.

Ideas for using Aperture 3 Organizing Tools

Hello ... I have Aperture 3 and would like some insight on how others use the organizing features. I know that, in Aperture 3, there are Ratings, Flagged, Color, Text, Keywords. I realize that everyone has a different system, but would like some input from others on how they use them.
1. What would be the differentiation for Ratings 1,2,3,4,5?
2. What would be an appropriate use of the Flagged feature?
3. How would one use the color to set apart pictures?
Just looking for ideas before I set "my" organizing system up
Thanks

Some ideas:
1. What would be the differentiation for Ratings 1,2,3,4,5?
5. I'd show that to anyone anyday... that's my Ansel Adams moment
4. That's very good.
3. That's worth keeping my find a use for it
2. That's out of focus but it's the only pic I have of my dog
1. That's embarrassing but my wife won't let me trash it. It's the only pic of her dog
2. What would be an appropriate use of the Flagged feature?
Flags are great for temporary collections. Say you need to decide a number of pics for a particular project. As you go through the library you can flag candidates then pick when you view the Flagged SMart Album.
3. How would one use the color to set apart pictures?
Simple ideas: Label for "Not Yet on Offsite Back up" "Have uploadd to Online Sharing SIte" etc

Lightroom 6 uses Intel Graphics instead of nvidia K610m

So far so good, but on my ZBook 17 LR runs on the Intel HD Graphics 4600.
This one is equal fast/slow as CPU.
Is there any way to let LR use the nvidia K610m instead of the Intel one?
Kind regards

Updated drivers for intell graphics 4000

I am trying to get OEM (HP) updated graphics drivers for the Intel graphics 4000. Paid money to play a game on my laptop,and had no problem until they came out with a new updated version. Now the game crashes when it gets to checking graphics settings? The games tech support people said I need the new Intel graphics driver. when I try to update the driver from Intel, it tells me that i have an OEM driver and to check with the manufacture (HP) for an updated driver.
HP's latest driver is dated 09/2013 intel's latest driver is dated 01/2015 and there have been 2 updates since 2013. Is HP going to put out an updated intel graphics 4000 driver, Please tell me how to override OEM and update from Intel??

Sorry mate, your gonna have to downgrade your driver in order to get the game running. I too have an Intel HD 4000 however mine is not OEM meaning i can upgrade with intel. Trust me I have overriden this in the past and your display driver WILL CRASH if you attempt it because it can only run HP's modded version. Just run the installer for the old version of HP's driver and run the game afterwards. P.S Sorry, HP have updated my 3000 driver (rare move by HP).

Re-Enable Default Intel Graphic

Need some help here.
Previously, my laptop will only use nvidia graphic during gaming session.However,since i updated my intel graphic..out of sudden the nvidia has became the default graphic card..
Anyone has any ideas to get my laptop to use intel graphic by default?
I have tried following method yet useless.
1)Changed from "Auto-Select" to "Integrated Graphic" from the NVIDIA control panel.
2)Disabled "Nvidia graphic card" in device manager.
3)System restore.
My led is in orange color which is indicating I'm using the nvidia graphic card...

Quote from: mklim;111695
Hi. thks for replying.
I googled around, where some people suggesting ur method too...but I couldn't find that particular setting in the BIOS.
Anyway,i have solved my issue.
What i did was completely reinstall my nvidia graphic driver and VOLLA!
Glad that you solved it i will be getting my first MSI as well an GS70 2PE which i hope it does not have problems

Flash video artifacts when using discrete graphics

So I have a 2011 MacBook Pro with Intel and ATI graphics. When watching flash video (YouTube), I have weird artifacting going on when using just discrete graphics. While using Intel graphics, the video usually plays fine, just a little choppy. I am using gfxCardStatus to switch between them. Is this a flash bug or something else? I've added an image to show what I'm talking about.

I don't see any evidence that you used Dreamweaver to insert
the
player. Normally, when you insert Flash with Dreamweaver, it
inserts
code I can readily identify. Did you use GoLive?
The pages you show are consipicuously missing the
<object> code and
the JavaScript that DW uses.
And I don't see any differences in the players. The pages
both link to
files named flvplayer.swf (in different folders) with the
same look and
the same file size. I am late in this thread, so maybe I
missed the
boat.
Anyway, I don't know if this would make a difference with
that player,
but one page uses a relative link to the .flv, while the
other page
uses an absolute link, including
http://. See if changing that one to a
relative link helps.
I only watched about a minute from both pages and, although
872 Kpbs
for the video track is VERY high, I did not see any glitches.
(Did you mean to use two slashes in the second link?)

Choppy and Laggy especially Ichat on C2D Imac with intel graphics

Last night I upgraded from 10.4.10 to leopard on my Imac C2D. Now my Imac has the integrated Intel graphics and not a fully fledged Ati but this has never been an issue before as Tiger was always nippy. I have 1.256mb ram, due to having a 1GB stick and a 256MB.
I performed an upgrade install and it all went fine. Initially though the system was very laggy and choppy, especially when using the dock, coverflow and even screensavers. Having used coverflow extensively in Itunes I can say it was never an issue before. I then decided to check out Ichat. Ichat was extremely choppy in particular with its video capture which lagged several seconds behind and even dropped frames. When I tried the effects these were about the same, no worse really and the background substitution effects worked very poorly with most of me missing.
I rebooted after installing the second wave of updates for Leopard and there was a significant increase in performance but its still choppy in places. I’m not sure if it’s due to my integrated graphics and wondered had anyone else had a similar issue, such as Macbook or Mac Mini users?
I’ve ordered a second 1GB stick from Crucial and hope this will bottom out any potential memory bottleneck but can’t help worrying it’s the Intel graphics. Would Apple seriously use Intel graphics only to release a OS which struggles with it?

In part thats a relief. I did not move over to Tiger until is was 10.4.6 to ensure stability and was always pleased with its performance. In truth Leopard works fine but graphically it does seem to have speed issues which i had put down to the GMA Intel graphics.
I really find Ichat and coverflow the worst afflicated and notice the minimal slow down I'm guessing more due to the excellent performance I had previously in Tiger.
In Ichat the video effects are terrible and the interactive rear screen fail to detect me properly. In coverflow in the finder the delay is less noticable but you can see the icons sharpen up after a second or two.
Hopefully Apple will sort this out shortly.
