robegue, as per http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/product- support/product/xps-13-9333/drivers/advanced an update to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (A08). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything?
For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't have to create a new bug report. Once the BIOS is updated, if the problem is still reproducible: 1) Please provide the output of the following terminal command (not perform an apport-collect): sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date 2) Please make a comment specifically advising on if there was an improvement or not. 3) Please mark this report Status New. If it's not reproducible, please mark this as Invalid. Thank you for your understanding. ** Attachment removed: "ProcEnviron.txt" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1405084/+attachment/4550423/+files/ProcEnviron.txt ** Attachment removed: "Dependencies.txt" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1405084/+attachment/4550422/+files/Dependencies.txt ** Tags added: bios-outdated-a08 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1405084 Title: VERY slow when using images in Writer Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Scolling and typing becomes painfully slow when an image is added in LibreOffice Writer. It becomes faster (not much) when the same image covers a smaller area. From settings, I've tried to maximize the graphics memory, and to enable/disable hardware acceleration and antialiasing, but it doesn't help. The problem persists in LibreOffice 4.3.5-rc2 from ubuntu PPA.
