Start with a normal logfile and debugging turned on. That should be a Raring bug with the intel driver - i doubt I can do something about it.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

Very nice work!
Just updated my Ubuntu Raring installation after removing the installed Frodo packages. I don't like watching tennis but I just watched some livetv and it looked amazing. Running on a i3-3225 processor by the way, no problems in the mainmenu with strange FPS.

When vsync is set to "on Playback" the normal interface is not bound to glxSwapBuffers, so I don't wonder that much - it is limited via the "great main loop" to do even more.
So basically you are saying: It does not matter if vsync is turned on / video playback - your fps jump to heaven? Do you use a special desktop environment?

Vsync only on playback: fps in the GUI way too high, during video stable as it should
Vsync always on: fps in the GUI way too high and stuttering heavily, during video stable
Vsync always off: fps in the GUI still too high, video is ok.
So it's rendering the GUI too high whatever setting I choose. Video is ok with vsync on or off.
I use xinit to start xbmc, so no I don't use a DE.
And the same Frodo install was OK on Quantal.

Nice :-) I have heard, that Raring makes bugs and is not what one could expect, but that sounds funny :-)
One last question, die you reenable the wsnipex ppa after the upgrade? and did apt-get update && apt-get upgrade? So that the packages got also tranfered to the raring packages?

George, did you do a clean install of Raring? I did an upgrade from Quantal. Maybe I'm going to try a fresh install, it's not that much work.
I use an i3-3220 which has 2500 graphics instead of 4000. Maybe that makes a difference, although again, it worked fine under Quantal.

Hi,
a while ago I found out that enabling Option "AccelMethod" "sna" in xorg.conf results in very high jumping framerates in the gui.
I'm on an Ivy HD4000.
Maybe you use a custom xorg.conf(from this thread) with this option enabled - so try again with disabling it.

@soulchar: Thanks for this feedback, I did not see this problem yet - but I added a comment into the xorg.conf I posted some posts back.
@Frank-NL: Can you post your Xorg.0.log? That should reveal if you are using SNA

I will post it when I'm home. I did enable SNA yesterday as an experiment, but don't know if it really worked... From what I've read SNA is not enabled by default so before I enabled it I had the same issue. Anyway, let's wait for the log.
