UPDATE

I found that the acceleration by (Option "AccelMethod" "uxa") on my laptop (HP EliteBook G1, Intel i5 i5-4300U) has an issue when it comes back from sleep that the screen is black and only shows the mouse pointer

How did I solve it? I changed the parameters by activating DRI3 and now it works much better as when it was in (Option "AccelMethod" "sna") by default

Note: Just specify these options in the file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf"

Section "Module" Load "dri3" EndSection

Section "Device" Identifier "Intel Graphics" Driver "intel" Option "DRI" "3" EndSection

If you are using the drivers for the DisplayLink ports, do the following:

URL DisplayLink Drivers https://github.com/AdnanHodzic/displaylink-debian

Leave blank or comment everything related to (DRI3) in the file "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf"
Edit the file "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-displaylink.conf" only specifying the following:

Section "Module" Load "dri3" EndSection

Section "Device" Identifier "Intel" Driver "intel" Option "DRI" "3" EndSection

Note: If in the installation of the Displaylink drivers there is a chmod error and interrupts the installation

a. Edit the displaylink-debian.sh file
b. Find all of the following matches (without quotes) "displaylink-driver-${version}."
c. change the dot (.) To the symbol (-) closing the key symbol

Example Before: displaylink-driver-${version}.[0-9]*

After displaylink-driver-${version}-[0-9]*

Is this still an issue with current software

Hardware acceleration on marco means using it with Compton, most likely an issue there meant an incompatability with Firefox hardware acceleration. While Compton and MATE are widely used together, we are not the maintainers of Compton and they need to know if this is still going on.

Firefox is now at version 115. Compton may have changed a lot too. I would suggest testing wtih current firefox and current Compton, and if the issue still exists open an issue with Compton. We can't do anything about it here UNLESS compton and firefox work with some other WM supporting Compton but not in Marco. If that is so I will reopen this

mate-desktop / marco
