[Joseph Salisbury <joseph.salisbury@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Given the number of bugs that the Kernel Team receives during any
development cycle it is impossible for us to review them all. Therefore,
we occasionally resort to using automated bots to request further
testing. This is such a request.

We are approaching release and would like to confirm if this bug is
still present. Please test again with the latest development kernel and
indicate in the bug if this issue still exists or not.

You can update to the latest development kernel by simply running the
following commands in a terminal window:

    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

If the bug still exists, change the bug status from Incomplete to
Confirmed. If the bug no longer exists, change the bug status from
Incomplete to Fix Released.

Thank you for your help, we really do appreciate it.


** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Incomplete

** Tags added: kernel-request-3.11.0-7.14

Title:
  8086:2562 Flash 11.2 content displays in shades of green and purple
  only, and in a horizontally compressed space

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  In my testing with the Intel driver using its default acceleration, what works:
  - Flash 11.2 works on Quantal with the 3.5 kernel
  - Flash 11.2 works on Raring with the 3.5.0-17 kernel (though it boots to a low-res desktop with a frozen pointer)
  - Flash 11.2 works on Raring also with the 3.6.11-030611 or 3.7.10-030710 mainline kernels
  - Flash 11.2 works on Raring with the 3.8 kernel (in Chrome)

  what fails:
  - Flash 11.2 fails on Raring with the 3.8 kernel
  - Flash 11.2 fails on Raring with the latest mainline kernel, 3.11.0-031100rc5
  - Flash 11.2 fails on Saucy alpha 2 with its default kernel

  Disabling Flash *hardware* acceleration altogether (via R-click in the
  Flash display window: Settings: General tab) did not fix the problem.

  WORKAROUND: Setting the Intel driver's acceleration method to UXA
  rather than its default SNA *always* fixes the Flash problem, but
  causes a garbled login screen under LightDM that so far has no
  workaround.

  I also tried one possible fix for the default Intel SNA acceleration using the TearFree option.   I created /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf with contents:
      Section "Device"
         Identifier  "Intel Graphics"
         Driver      "intel"
         Option      "AccelMethod"  "sna"
         Option      "TearFree"    "true"
      EndSection
  But this had no effect.
