I still use my Toshiba Portege R100 with the trident chipset on Karmic 9.10. The bug listed 'window contents garbled when dragging' no longer occurs, the only issue that remains is when the lid is closed and the re-opened, the desktop is 'enlarged' so that what fills the screen is roughly the top left quarter of the full desktop. A quick ctrl+alt-f1 ctrl+alt-f7 resolves this so I've lived with it. Hope that helps.

Hey tehdon, thanks for the vlc tip - that worked. Easy when you know how eh? Alan On 6/13/07, tehdon [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm confused. Balaji, are you saying that we should be using the nVidia driver for our Trident XP4/32m chipsets? I would suspect that if you indeed tried that then xorg, upon initialization, would notice a problem, and fall back to the VESA driver. I suspect that we are talking apples vs igneous rocks here. But, to answer the previous question in a bit more depth: In order to get actual video playback from VLC you need to change the output module to x11. The way you do this is to: Execute vlc in your normal fashion. I would press alt-f2 and type in vlc myself, so that it loads faster. Then open Settings, then select Preferences, which should give you a new window titled Preferences. Expand the Video section and then expand the Output Modules subsection, then select it. Confirm that there is an X11 subsection under the Output Modules subsection in the panel on the left. On the lower right, you should see an Advanced Options select box, select it, because that's us baby, advanced. This should allow you to choose your Video Output Module. You want to select X11 Video Output. Click Save, then exit out of VLC and reload to make sure that the updated configuration takes over. Let me know how it works.

Re: [Bug 63051] Re: Dragging and scrolling garbles window content (edgy beta)
Video playback does, in fact, work, but once again, there is a work around. The problem with vlc is it attempts to use the wrong playback plugin. I'm at work, so I can't give you specifics, but the quick and dirty is to open vlc, go to options (preferences?), go to video options (modules?/plugins?), and change the default playback module from default to xv, or x11. I think you may have to enable advanced options to be able to see this option. I'm going from memory, and I can't recall for sure. I'll update this a little more thoroughly when I am at home in front of my laptop.

[Bug 63051] Re: Dragging and scrolling garbles window content (edgy beta)
As I recall the newest version of Ubuntu (FEISTY) still has issues with the trident driver flaking out and blowing stuff up. The solution I came up with is to get the DEBIAN Trident driver. You can get it from the DEBIAN repos. I copied the driver file over the Ubuntu driver, then modified my xorg.conf file to have Section Device Identifier Generic Video Card Driver trident Option Accelmethod xaa This is the change BusID PCI:1:0:0 EndSection I've found that whenever the video brightness changes, such as when the power state changes, or when I open the lid, the screen seems to expand the upper left 1/4 of the screen to cover the whole screen. A simple ctrl-alt-F3, ctrl-alt-F7 tends to fix it, though I have found that if you switch to text mode BEFORE you login on initial startup then the screen can sometimes just turn blue and become unresponsive. The work- around being you login BEFORE the text mode-gui mode switch, and give it about 10 seconds for everything to settle before you attempt it.

I found this problem too. After finally getting X to start, I find that Firefox or any other applications' scrollbar doesn't operate as well as it did before. In fact, I don't understand the fix that Mark has put up here. I have an nVidia display and it wasn't supported earlier either. I donot know if this is a problem with X or GDM or anything else. But I don't know how to fix it either. Dragging a window causes the window to leave traces behind. It is simply irritating. None of these were my initial settings. -- Dragging and scrolling garbles window content (edgy beta) https://launchpad.net/bugs/63051 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 63051] Re: Dragging and scrolling garbles window content (edgy beta)
The fix that I found seems to apply only to the trident driver, which has the new AccelMethod option that seems not to exist in 6.06 LTS. I wonder what has changed in the nVidia driver for Edgy, maybe there are some new options possible there, too. I think you can get Xorg -configure to generate the list of possible options. Log out and go to a virtual terminal with Ctrl+Alt+F1 for example. Login in the virtual terminal. Then stop the X session: $ sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop With the X session stopped, you can run Xorg -configure to get the output: $ sudo Xorg -configure This generates an xorg.conf in the current directory. When I did that on the laptop, the xorg.conf I got had all the options listed and commented out. I took some fiddling to find out which combinations actually worked. Furthermore, I don't see a man page for the nVidia driver. (There is one for the trident driver, and there is one for nv but I'm not sure that applies to the nVidia driver you install separately.) So maybe there's even more guesswork to do :-( -- Dragging and scrolling garbles window content (edgy beta) https://launchpad.net/bugs/63051 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 63051] Re: Dragging and scrolling garbles window content (edgy beta)
Finally found some time to mess around with some of the options for the trident driver. I found what seems to be a fix for this problem: turn off all the options I might have used for Dapper, and instead use Option AccelMethod exa. #Option CyberShadow True #Option ShadowFB true #Option NoAccel false Option AccelMethod exa -- Dragging and scrolling garbles window content (edgy beta) https://launchpad.net/bugs/63051 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 63051] Re: Dragging and scrolling garbles window content (edgy beta)
Although this seems to have a fix, it's a shame that whatever configured X in the beginning didn't know to find this without my help. The problem was fairly painful. -- Dragging and scrolling garbles window content (edgy beta) https://launchpad.net/bugs/63051 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Here is a terminal window that has not been dragged, yet. ** Attachment added: window before dragging http://librarian.launchpad.net/4549633/before-dragging-window.png -- Dragging and scrolling garbles window content (edgy beta) https://launchpad.net/bugs/63051 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Here is the same terminal window after it has been dragged. BTW, I now notice that fast scrolling with the scrollbar, not just mouse-wheel scrolling, also garbles the content of my browser window. ** Attachment added: window after dragging http://librarian.launchpad.net/4549775/after-dragging-window.png -- Dragging and scrolling garbles window content (edgy beta) https://launchpad.net/bugs/63051 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
