[Bug 1222602] Re: [regression] [gen3] Mesa 9.2 makes Unity unusable on Atom class hardware and 943/945 graphics controllers

 

Olibaf: the new driver is a great improvement, but it is still not good
enough I am afraid.  For example, with the new driver the Dash still
takes about 4 seconds to show, coming up in several steps.  With the
workaround setting MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=1.4 it comes up in about
than 0.5 seconds.  Before the new driver and without the workaround the
Dash took tens of seconds to come up.

Bug description:
  After the upgrade to Mesa 9.2.0 unity is barely usable.
  Dash, Alt+Tab switcher and Alt+F2 command line shows in more than 1 minute, using 100% cpu.

  A downgrade to mesa 9.1.6-2ubuntu2 restores full performance.
