Now, as the root user: make install Command Explanations --enable-kms-only: This switch omits the UMS (User Mode Setting) code. --with-default-accel=sna: This switch enables SandyBridge New Acceleration method by default. : This switch enables new GL-based 2D acceleration. As well as specifying this in the build, it needs to be enabled at run time (see below). Glamor Acceleration Glamor is an acceleration library which uses cards' 3D capabilities to accelerate 2D rendering. Glamor acceleration is not enabled by default. You have to use a xorg.conf file to enable it. To enable Glamor, create the following /etc/X11/xorg.conf as the root user: cat >> /etc/X11/xorg.conf << "EOF" Section "Module" Load "dri2" Load "glamoregl" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "intel" Driver "intel" Option "AccelMethod" "glamor" EndSection EOF Contents Installed Library Installed Xorg Driver libIntelXvMC.so intel_drv.so Short Descriptions intel_drv.so is an Xorg video driver for Intel integrated graphics chipsets. intel_drv.so
