## Optimize X11 server (Xorg)

From [this](https://www.ivanov.biz/2019/howto-optimize-intel-graphics-performance-fedora-kde-linux-laptop/) I learned how to optimize the X11 server.

Create the file `/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-intel.conf` with the following content:

```
Section "OutputClass"
   Identifier "intel"
   MatchDriver "i915"
   Driver "intel"
   Option "AccelMethod" "sna"
   Option "TearFree" "true"
   Option "DRI" "3"
EndSection
```

When running [xsnow](/xsnow), Xorg uses 60-70% cpu without this file. With this file, Xorg uses less then 15%.
