[gentoo-user] Problem with Thinkpad lenovo 3500

Hi all.

I have a ThinkPad lenovo R500 running the latest GENTOO.

Everything works, but I have 2 problems:
1) OpenGL screen saver do not works
2) Graphic is not very fast.

I think the first problem is related to the second one.

I think (but I'm not sure) that the source of my problem is this:

xxxx@localhost ~ $ glxinfo | grep renderer
OpenGL renderer string: Software Rasterizer

However,

xxxx@localhost ~ $ glxinfo | grep direct
direct rendering: Yes

xxxx@localhost ~ $ dmesg | grep -i agp
[    1.708652] Linux agpgart interface v0.103
[    1.708775] agpgart-intel 0000:00:00.0: Intel Mobile Intel�� GM45 Express
Chipset
[    1.709925] agpgart-intel 0000:00:00.0: detected 32764K stolen memory
[    1.713030] agpgart-intel 0000:00:00.0: AGP aperture is 256M @ 0xd0000000

Do you have any idea about what can I do to solve this problem?

Thank you in advance,
Massimiliano

Hi. What driver are you using with your graphic cart? Try
x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel-2.1.1, but this driver works bad with
compiz. But you get better performance. 
Intel developers rework their driver and provoke this problems with
performance. Soon there will be all good.
