Hello, all, I know this is not an EMC problem, but I was wondering if anyone has run into this.
I just installed the Ubuntu 8.04 / EMC2 CDROM iso file on a Dell Optiplex with the Intel i810e video chip set, (actually an 82810E) and ran into some problems. I have a ViewSonic LCD running at 1280.1024 native, and Xorg detected that and matched the screen resolution. I ran the latency-test, and those numbers looked quite good. Then, I ran glxgears, and there were many horizontal dark lines on the screen, and in a few seconds Xorg partially crashed, and the only screen that still was readable was the one you get via ctrl/alt/F1. So, I shut down and rebooted. I then tried running EMC in sim mode, and got the same large field of horizontal lines. It was like seeing the screen through a venetian blind. It made the Axis window unreadable. This particular system has space only for half-height PCI cards, so it may be hard to use a plug-in video board. Anybody seen this, or know what to do (other than contact the Ubuntu or Xorg folks, with I will do). It seems to be related to Open-GL functions, as so far, I've only seen it with glxgears and Axis.
