|
|
I'm new to minecraft, and I found out that minecraft could just run smoothly at first, but would always had lags several minutes later. I used F3 to check it, and the data "C" (Number of chunk sections rendered over total number of chunks) was below 100 at first, and everything was fine. Then it would increase (very reasonable), and have lots of lags when C reached over 400. It's really strange, because when I played minecraft on OS X, the data C often reached over 1000, and the game would still be smooth. If I use F3+A to reload every chuck, the game would be smooth again, but only for a couple of minutes.
I tried to increase some runtime memory using -Xms, -Xmx, -PermSize, etc, but nothing turned better.
So I guess maybe it's the cause of video card drivers. I currently use xf86-video-ati and xf86-video-intel. I tried to use the discrete video card but I'm not sure how to do that, because /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch would always indicate that the integrated card is on. (3D acceleration is on.)
And I tried to switch to ati-drivers, but Xorg could not start (I'm not sure where I did wrongly).
My laptop is Lenovo Y460, which has a Intel-i5 430M CPU, 4GB RAM, and ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650+Intel GMA HD switchable graphic cards.
I'm using Oracle JDK. _________________ A man with two right arms. |

shanehou,
It sounds very much like you have a hybrid graphics set up.
This means that the Intel chip must always be in use as its needed to read the pixel buffer to the display but the Radeon chip can be used to do the drawing.
Intel alone will work, Radeon alone will just give you a blank screen. _________________ Regards,

VIDEO_CARDS="intel radeon"
INPUT_DEVICES="evdev synaptics" _________________ A man with two right arms. |

So how can I do it? I'm currently using "radeon.runpm=0" in grub boot parameters, and echo OFF > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch to turn off the discrete card, but the machine is still very hot. _________________ A man with two right arms. |
