I installed Gnome on Debian stretch stable, with kernel version 4.18 from stretch-backports, and after logging in, the animations usually present on Gnome do not work, i.e. apps sliding into the applications menu, the blur on the bar at the top of the screen. However, if I go to a tty, then type startx, the Gnome desktop environment starts and the animations works. I have looked around, but haven't found any answers as to why this is happening, or how it can be fixed. Does anyone know how I can solve this issue?



I am starting Gnome via the graphics login screen, GDM, and am using an X11 session. I'm using a Core i5-8400 with Intel UHD Graphics 630.

  • Hi @wispi. What is your graphic card? Did you update the drivers after installation?

    @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.

How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
