Ok, gave it another try with nouveau -- things are much worse than I remembered. Versions: ii libdrm-nouveau1a 2.4.26-1ubuntu1 Userspace interface to nouveau-specific kernel DRM services -- runtime ii xserver-xorg-video-nouveau 1:0.0.16+git20110411+837844 X.Org X server -- Nouveau display driver (experimental)
* nouveau + unity 3d + XBMC: playing a video: subtitles would flicker, the XBMC HUD would flicker, unity launcher and panel would flicker over the video, parts of the video would flicker, only some parts of the video would update and would switch back and forth between two frames (video buffers?) exiting full screen: only part of the launcher was rendered (right half) and the screen would be stuck. hit Alt+SysRq+k got a blank screen, Ctrl+Alt+F1 would not give me console (visually) but Ctrl+Alt+Del worked. * nouveau + gnome shell + XBMC playing a video: subtitles would flicker, but less. the XBMC HUD would flicker, but the video played properly. exiting fullscreen: the screen was stuck displaying the GS top panel and the XBMC window and would not update. the system appeared stuck (NumLk would not toggle) so I did Alt+SysRq+REISUB. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/932688 Title: Unity 3D causes video apps to malfunction To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/932688/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
