			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Qt-4.5 upgrade on my laptop wasn&#8217;t that smooth. Every qt4/kde4 application had a corrupted layout and fonts were unreadable.</p>
<p>The fact that I didnt have such issues on any other machine made me think that there was something seriously wrong with my laptop.<br />
KDE+QT were compile with the same CFLAGS+USE flags on every machine and he kde+qt4 versions were exactly the same. So, I figured out that it has to be something related to graphics card ( or drivers ).</p>
<p>KDE4 ( with qt-4.5 ) was running smoothly on every pc with Nvidia graphics card. But my  laptop has Intel graphics chipset and Qt-4.5 sucked big time.</p>
<p>This is my hardware</p>
<p>0:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)<br />
00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)</p>
<p>So , after some googling , I did the below changes</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>1) Xorg.conf</strong></span></p>
<p>Added the following on Device Section</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">Option      &#8220;DRI&#8221;         &#8220;true&#8221;<br />
Option      &#8220;AccelMethod&#8221;            &#8220;XAA&#8221;<br />
Option      &#8220;XAANoOffscreenPixmaps&#8221;  &#8220;True&#8221;<br />
Option      &#8220;XaaNoPixmapCache&#8221;</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">2) .bashrc</span></strong><br />
Added the following on my bashrc file</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">export INTEL_BATCH=1</span></p>
<p>Since then, my kde4 runs perfectly with Qt-4.5 . No corrupted layouts or unreadable fonts anymore , plus it is so much faster.</p>
<p>So, give it a try if you are having a hard time with Qt-4.5 + Intel graphics card</p>
