Linux Mint Cinnamon 17.3 in software rendering mode issue
by ABW101 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#13BPV)
This has been chatted about but thought there was no definite resolution. (Is there?)
I read this is a bug, is it?
Installed Cinnamon 17.3 all the latest ISO/updates etc on an Acer Aspire with an Intel video card. It boots in software rendering, rendering this wee little lappy soggy slow.
Here's the output of the famous INXI command:

Is there actually a fix? Or do I have to wait for a newer version?
thanks for replying....
