Two Regressions
Hello everyone, I'd like to point you to two regressions (from Hardy), that are probably worth fixing before Intrepid is released: - It is not possible to enter Tilde, Accents and Accent Circumflex any more by pressing the key twice: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/273678 - When multiple displays are connected, automatic resolution detection fails: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/249193 Best regards, Andreas -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
Re: Does metacity compositor use acceleration?
chombee wrote: Does the compositor that you can enable in metacity in hardy use 3D acceleration? Yes, it does. I like it better than compiz (the alt-tab isn't broken for one thing) but it seems slow. Actually, on my i915GMS Metacity compositing is much faster than Compiz. And a lot less buggy. Maybe Normal visual effects (Appearance Preferences) should use Metacity rather than Compiz?

Re: Activate Desktop-Effects: Yes/No-Button?
Dominik Wagenfuehr wrote: most users welcome the decision to activate Compiz by default. But others are a little bit unhappy with it [1][2]. Add me to the list of (currently) unhappy people. As soon as you have two displays connected, Compiz behaves very strange. Not even simple actions like maximizing Windows works correctly [1]. Also, the performance of the current Compiz default settings feels a bit lower than Metacity on my Dell X1 (Pentium M 1.1 GHz, Intel i915GMS). Extended effects are completely out of reach (mouse moves terribly sluggish).

Re: Subpixel font rendering in gutsy
Scott James Remnant wrote: Click the Details... button, make sure the Subpixel (LCDs) Smoothing option is set, and set the Full Hinting option. Compare with the Slight Hinting option, which is better? I like full hinting most, because it does not create all kinds of funny colors. It is more readable for me. If you find that there's significant ghosting of the text, try adjusting the Subpixel Order. This just shuffles the colors around, it does not cure the problem.

Re: Single CD for Server Desktop?

Is it not possible to have a check box at installation time that says: * I would like to install an Ubuntu Desktop [ ] * I would like to install an Ubuntu Server [ ] You might want to go for the DVD, which contains everything you want on one disc.

Re: future of xserver-xorg-video-(i810|intel)?
Kyle McMartin wrote: My plan is to have them both installed by parallel, and modify discover-data to use -intel on new installs for everything newer than i945. This should minimize regressions. [...] We'll likely keep -i810 for the i8xx by default for the foreseeable future though. Thanks for this information. What will happen to the i915? It lies inbetween i945 and i8xx. I am running -intel on a i915GMS since that pre-release 1.9.94 driver, and I'm having at least less issues than with -i810. Is there a list of known regressions available that I could check against?

future of xserver-xorg-video-(i810|intel)?
Hello everyone, I'd like to ask about the future of these two packages in Gutsy? Currently (Tribe 2), both are installed in parallel and you need to switch to intel by changing the driver in xorg.conf. As the i810 driver cannot handle odd resolutions well, when will the default be switched over to intel? Will this happen at all for Gutsy?

Herd 3: Crash Report right after Booting Live or Fresh Install
Hi everyone, I'm just checking if these are known bug(s): 1) Right after booting Herd 3 live or a fresh install I get a crash report (about Add/Remove Programs) in the systray area. This seems to be very reproducible. 2) I tried to use the designated error reporting mechanism for reporting the error, but unfortunately the web browser never showed up after sending the crash data. I am using a Dell Latitude X1, which did not surface problem #1 with Herd 2 or earlier.
