Q-133: I am experiencing extreme framebuffer update lags and am
using the `intel` x.org driver. What to do?
using an Intel graphics card. What to do?

Depending on your graphics card model and x.org driver used, several
approaches might work out for you:

Some users [have reported](https://github.com/LibVNC/x11vnc/issues/58)
that when using the 'intel' x.org driver, switching the driver's
option named "AccelMethod" to "UXA" helped.

Others [reported](https://github.com/LibVNC/x11vnc/issues/100) that
using the 'modesetting' x.org driver caused the lags and switching to
the 'intel' x.org driver helped.

Try to set the drivers option named "AccelMethod" to "UXA" or use
the `modesetting` driver instead of `intel`.
Some [reported](https://github.com/LibVNC/x11vnc/issues/102) that
lags only occured with xfwm as window manager and with x11vnc started
with monitors off, no matter what the x.org driver. In their case, one
of disabling vsync, using 'modesetting' with "AccelMethod" "none" or
disabling compositing all helped.
