[Bug 367546] Re: [i865] [Jaunty] - Can not start tvtime (since DRI is disabled)

 

Solved for me. No longer getting the error in Xorg.0.log and my video
performance is better than before. MythTV, vlc and gmplayer work at full
screen using a fraction of the CPU. Still some choppy video with Miro,
and Totem is not displaying video but I am not getting the error.

I had luck by Reverting the Jaunty Xorg intel driver to 2.4 as explained
in this link

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReinhardTartler/X/RevertingIntelDriverTo2.4

Then I edited

xorg.conf adding the following to the "Device" section
	Option		"MigrationHeuristic" "greedy"
	Option 		"AccelMethod" "xaa"

I don't know if changing gstreamer-properties  Default output to  "X
Windows System (No Xv)" had any effect but it is working so I also left
it.

Just in case you are wondering. Here is the result of "lspci -nn | grep VGA" 
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:2572] (rev 02)

If I have some time I will try moving up to 2.8 as explained here:
