			<description><![CDATA[<p>Hello everyone,<br />Since I switch from devuan 1 to 2, I experienced two kind of issues with some graphical tools and games.</p><p>The first issue affect some allegro based games in the repository, like Alex the allegator 4 and Ballz (So far, only these two were tested), trying to play result in system slowdown, 100% cpu peaks and very slow responses from the system.</p><p>The second one, results in some incorrect rendering on graphical tools, like Kolourpaint <a href="http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=2971" rel="nofollow">(Reference here)</a>.</p><p>Since all of these problems where not experienced in devuan 1.0, and I switched with a fresh install to 2.0 version, does someone has any kind of idea of what can cause those problems? Or has experienced the same kind of issue?<br />Some new version of Xserver packages or intel drivers?</p><p>My graphics card as shown from lshw and glxinfo output on rendering:</p><div class="codebox"><pre><code>*-display

direct rendering: Yes</code></pre></div><p>I experienced the issue in both Xfce and Trinity Desktop.</p><p><strong>Edit 7/4/2019</strong></p><p>Just for testing, I downgraded xserver-xorg-video-intel video driver from 2.99 to 2.21, and problem persist.<br />So I think the problem is somewhere else...</p><p><strong>Edit 13/9/2019</strong></p><p>I suspected that the problem was the graphical driver (intel i915), so uninstalled the xorg driver and VAAPI driver packages and test the games and apps, same problem.<br />The driver was still loaded, because it was provided also by the kernel too.</p><p>So, I blacklisted it, and well, now alex4 and ballz (I tried this two only so far) works smoothly and well!<br />Also KolourPaint doesn&#039;t not have the problem anymore.</p><div class="codebox"><pre><code>$ dpkg -S i915

libgl1-mesa-dri:i386: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri/i915_dri.so</code></pre></div><p>To test, I reinstalled the xorg driver and playing around with Xorg configs.</p><div class="codebox"><pre><code>$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf

EndSection</code></pre></div><p>This seems to fix the problem.</p>]]></description>
