This is expected due https://github.com/manjaro/mhwd-db/pull/8. @Tids, thoughts on that?
Xorg-config file? This one is not needed for intel hardware as long as you just want the defaults (DRI3, SNA-Acceleration).
So without xorg.conf is the same as with:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel Graphics"
Driver "intel"
Option "AccelMethod" "sna"
Option "DRI" "3"
EndSection
Of course, if you need to change something, you need to create a config file.
Is needed for tearing and other bug
@liberodark just create one for you. Thats not a general issue, but specific for your hardware combination(s). I never had any kind of tearing with Intel since Xorg 1.19 / DRI3 is active. on a few different systems. But i know there is a number of users that still suffer from this for different reasons.
the 2 main options we have is to add an xorg.conf with tearfree or kill the intel xorg driver and use modesettings, like ubuntu/fedora.
The disadvantage of the first one is that it will cost performance and/or battery life the disadvantage of the modesettings driver, well I dont know. Its a generic driver, so I think it will not support things like hardwareaccelerated video output (wich is weak anyways on intel-linux.
Hello,
I work with a lot of pc and I have access to pc very recent and also of current generation. And what you say is false it is not me but of all the pc that I tested. I can prove it to you when you want. In addition act thus slowed down the fact of being able to use manjaro on his laptop.
cordially
Can you open freedesktop bugreports? Would be nice to get this fixed upstream, where it should be fixed and also test with modesettings xorg driver (just uninstall xf86-video-intel
).
Are your systems intel only or hybrids? It would be nice to have some more informations (inxi -F
). I really can not recreate any tearing.
Also @philmmanjaro whats the status on our shiny manjaro machine - Manjaro Spitfire? Is there any tearing visible?
Is just intel and this config is a Lenovo IdeaPad but have try msi asus acer samsung and lenovo and is the same have finish wich hp. Have only proof for Intel chipset Apollo Lake / SkyLake / KabyLake. Atom / Pentium / i3 / i5. The better is chose install or not install configuration.

Put yourself in the place of people who want linux on their pc I often advice manjaro. And if when it installs linux they have as much problem it will leave thinking that it is a bad system. So you just have to configure. But I love manjaro and the idea of simplicity that you convey. You can not make your installation more difficult. So I ask that this be revised and especially that we give the choice to the user. If it is a beginner it is normal that it wishes the simplest without configuring files of which it does not even know the name.
@Tids on the Spitfire (HD Graphics 620 Kaby Lake GT2) we haven't seen any screen tearing. With intel-video there are issues with transparency in connection with latest xfwm4-gtk3 compositor, other than that we use modesetting with no issues except for some flickering, but that seems to be solved by disabling iommu in linux413.
no have manjaro xfce GTK3
xfce-gtk3 is pretty unstable still though.
another pc have tearing ! Acer ES1-512 corrected by config file created this new idea for remove config file from MHWD is not great :(
@liberodark have you tried using modesetting without intel-video as @Tids and I suggested?
Hello,
On Manjaro XFCE x64 17.0.5 fresh install. MHWD not install config file for Intel HD Graphic for what ? I had to create the file myself on 3 laptop. Intel Card tested : Skylake / Kaby Lake / Apollo Lake.
