** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided => Low
** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Incomplete
** Tags added: bios-outdated-a08
** Description changed:
Occasionally, when coming out of a suspend and getting past the light
locker screen, font rendering broken. Application windows are missing
most but not all letters, and text for icons on the desktop is blurry.
Already open terminal windows won't have any text, but sometimes opening
a new terminal window does have working text for the terminal, even
though the text in the menu bar is broken.
Programs like Thunderbird often still display text unless they are
forced to re-render the window, at which point the fonts also disappear.
Firefox still renders web pages but is missing the text in the menu
bars.
- This seems similar to bug #1434351 to me, but I was asked by Christopher
- Penalver to open a new bug, so here we go.
+ The bug itself manifested with the default Xorg settings (no xorg.conf
+ file).
- I'm currently running with an xorg.conf suggested as a workaround for
- #1434351, the bug itself manifested with the default Xorg settings (no
- xorg.conf file). But as the bug only occurs occasionally, it's too early
- to say if the workaround actually works.
+ WORKAROUND: Insert in xorg.conf file:
+ Section "Device"
+ Identifier "intel"
+ Driver "modesetting"
+ EndSection
