[Bug 1340739] [NEW] Video tearing when rotated second screen is set

2014-07-11 Thread manfromthezoo
Public bug reported:

I have a dual monitor setup - one regular, one rotated.

All seems to be well on the regularly oriented monitor, however on the
rotated one, there is significant video tearing when dragging windows -
which is worse when done vertically.

I have tried with 14.04, and I am using Haswell HD4600.

Unfortunately the problem renders me unable to use Ubuntu, as smooth
scrolling is important for my work. Any pointers very much appreciated.

Another instance from someone else:

[Bug 563878] Re: Ubuntu splashscreen big and ugly after installing ATI/nVidia proprietary graphics driver

2010-06-11 Thread manfromthezoo
Same issue here. I've got 10.04 running on my HD Home Theatre PC (in
fact, that I bought especially to run Lynx on).

Splash was working beautifully (sort of) until I installed the nVidia
proprietary drivers (essential for decent video experience etc). Now, I
have the flashing cursor / big, dog-ugly splashes.

I'm ordinarily OK with hacking things about to get it to work, but on
this occasion I've not been able to fix this, and I've 'run out of
steam' with something that I think should work out of the box. It's
making Ubuntu a hard-sell to the tens of people I've converted, former
Windows users who value superficial 'shiny' things and make comparisons
to W7 boxes they've seen. It's a hard question for me to answer when
they ask me why it doesn't look as nice as their former 9.10
installation did on boot-up. As another commenter has said, I'd rather
it take a few seconds longer to boot and retain as nice a boot
experience as 9.10 did.

I don't want to loose my Ubuntu users on the basis of something so
trivial, but that's how it works in the minds of the non tech-savvy.

[Bug 496616] Re: Mediaplayer crashed with pa_stream_writable_size() failed: Connection terminated

2010-05-30 Thread manfromthezoo
Thought I'd chime in and add that I'm having this error too:

pa_stream_writable_size() failed: Connection terminated

...when trying to watch DVD's in Totem. VLC seems absolutely fine.

[Bug 313430] [NEW] Correct screen resolution cannot be set on Latitude D610 (Intel 915)

2009-01-03 Thread manfromthezoo
Public bug reported:

Problem encountered in Intrepid.

The correct supported screen resolution doesn't  work, offering only a
1024 X 768 maximum resolution. This is occuring on an Intel 915 based
variety of the Dell Latitude D610 laptop (not the separately available
ATI version).

I have tried using dkpg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg, and manually
entered the details into xorg.conf. However, this makes the problem
worse and X does not re-launch properly - Ubuntu will subsequently only
run in Safe Graphics mode.

Perhaps there is a manual fix however a) I can't find one and b) the
915GM is not an uncommon graphics chip so I don't think manual
intervention should be required.

I would also add that the general display is 'fuzzy' - nothing looks as
sharp as it does on Windows on the same machine.

This, for now, has rendered Ubuntu unusable for me and I fear it might
put off others trying it on this (fairly) common notebook.
