[Bug 375264] Re: [i965] GM965/GL960: video and compiz issues after jaunty upgrade

 

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel
  
  Like others, I began having issues with Intel graphics after upgrading
  intrepid to jaunty. I happen to be lucky in that mine are not severe
  compared to others. If I can in any way help speed the fixes along, by
  testing new code or whatever, great.
  
  I removed my card from the Compiz blacklist and have been using this
  Acer Aspire 5920 laptop constantly since upgrading two weeks ago. Since
  then, I have observed only the following issues:
  
  - Flash video is choppy and unplayable. This is the most serious issue.
  By comparison, a 700MB " RIFF (little-endian) data, AVI, 720 x 304,
  25.00 fps, video: XviD" file plays fine in totem, including full screen.
  Do I need to compare with a better quality video?
  
  - "Reflection" Compiz plugin hangs X shortly into the session. No hangs
  have recurred since I disabled this plugin.
  
  - "Rotate Cube" and "Shift Switcher" Compiz plugins perform poorly,
  although still would have been impressive a few years back. 2D plugins
  like wobbly windows, transparency, animations appear to work fine.
  
  That's all. I hope the ubuntu-bug tool is attaching the right info, and
  I'll be glad to provide any more if it could help. Thanks, and have a
  good day!
