reboot, and it was fixed. No software rendering mode warning, no high CPU usage, and all videos and content played and scrolled smoothly.
This was for intel, but I am looking for a similar fix for both nvidia and ati.
Let me know how it goes if you have this problem with Intel Graphics drivers. There went two weeks that I'll never get back.

I have been having the exact same problem with cinnamon on Mint 17 and your solution worked perfectly, thank you very much!
Re: [Mint 15] Cinnamon running in software rendering mode
Hi,
Any idea how to adapt this method for LMDE Betsy? I'm having the software rendering mode bug on an Asus UX305 (intel graphics) but there is no /etc/lsb-release folder....!
Thanks

Adding your question to a very old thread is not the best way to do things.
Create a new thread. (You can link to this thread.)

Hi, cedric12.
I agree with austin.texas. Plus, watch out for current threads about Cinnamon 2.8.4 (preferrably) on Linux Mint Debian Edition 2 (LMDE 2). Will return more meaningful results than a thread that was about Cinnamon on Linux Mint 15. Much older Cinnamon version. Mint 15 obsolete by now.
Closing this thread.

Karl
