Description Pavol Klačanský 2011-10-15 23:36:43 UTC 
Hi,

I have Intel 4500 graphic card and when I run clutter demo, it eats all my cpu time.
Where is problem? I should be accelerated over OpenGL, right?

I am curious, because I am rewriting my app from GTK (doesn't suit modern app design, without all CSS styling and not using almost no default widget) to Clutter, but it looks at same speed like HTML animations

so please, I need to know, if there is way to make it smooth or if I should switch to HTML instead

Thanks

this is not really a bug report: you should use the clutter-app-devel mailing list instead:

  http://lists.clutter-project.org/listinfo/clutter-app-devel-list

you should check if you are, in fact, using hardware acceleration and direct rendering.

if you run glxinfo, is there a mention to the "Mesa Software Rasterizer"?

client glx vendor string: Mesa Project and SGI
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Mobile Intel® GM45 Express Chipset 
OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 7.11

I have written to ML too
