| Sep 23, 2018 at 11:28 | comment | added | sourcejedi | If you want to try all the options, there is a weird compromise one no-one has mentioned yet :-). See the package description of xserver-xorg-video-intel. "The use of this driver is discouraged if your hw is new enough (ca. 2007 and newer). You can try uninstalling this driver and let the server use it's builtin modesetting driver instead." | |

| Sep 22, 2018 at 19:10 | comment | added | wispi | @Goro Using gconf-editor, I only see the folders 'apps' and 'schemas' under '/'. I tried disabling then enabling animations with gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface enable-animations [true/false] but that didn't seem to do anything. | |
| Sep 22, 2018 at 19:07 | comment | added | wispi | @Bigon Yes it seems I do have a logind session. The output of loginctl lists my username under USER. Can I ask for clarification as to what you mean relating to systemd? | |
| Sep 22, 2018 at 18:59 | comment | added | Bigon | Are you using systemd? Do you have a logind session registered when you open your session? You can check with the loginctl command | |

| Sep 22, 2018 at 18:52 | comment | added | wispi | @Bigon I'm starting Gnome with GDM (the Gnome login screen), and using Gnome on System X11. If I try to login with Wayland, the animations work, but are choppy. | |
| Sep 22, 2018 at 18:50 | comment | added | wispi | @Goro I'm using an Intel Core i5-8400 with Intel UHD graphics 630, not a discrete graphics card. After some research, it seems that Debian already contains the necessary packages for Intel Graphics (xserver-xorg-video-intel). When using kernel 4.8, the default Debian stable kernel version, the resolution was stuck at 1024 x 768, but after updating the kernel to 4.18, it allowed me to set the correct resolution. When, for example, watching videos on YouTube in 4k, the content looks fine and the frame rate looks proper, so I think the problem is with Gnome, and not the drivers or GPU. | |
| Sep 22, 2018 at 17:42 | comment | added | Bigon | How are you starting your session? Via GDM? Are you trying to start a Wayland session? Try to click on the little gear in GDM and see if it's a X11 session or a Wayland session you are trying to start | |
