[Bug 1432194] Re: Graphics unstable on Ubuntu 14.04 and 14.10 using Intel HD Graphics 5500
As Moritz, I still get the missing characters in Trusty with following
packages and SNA enabled:
$ uname -a
Linux [snip] 3.16.0-37-generic #51~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Wed May 6 15:23:14 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
$ dpkg -l | grep video-intel | grep ii

@timo: Does your kernel packages differ from .51?

Bug description:
Trying to achieve: Get a more stable graphics environment up and
running
Steps to take: basic ubtuntu 14.04 install. Boot up and run for a
few minutes and then ...
What happens: After running for a few minutes the graphics gets
flacky.
What should happen: Graphics should not get flaky.
I have just installed ubuntu 14.04 on my new thinkpad t450s.
Everything basically works, but something is very flaky about my
keyboard or display or both. After running for awhile some apps
(E.g., thunderbird and sometimes emacs for example) will display
garbage. If I refresh by moving the screen around or changing
buffers/tabs/etc. they can often recover.
I see that there is an [Intel(R) Graphics Installer for Linux*
1.0.7](https://01.org/linuxgraphics/downloads/2014/intelr-graphics-
installer-linux-1.0.7). I am leery about just loading this and running
it. Any suggestions about how I should proceed?
