Re: [Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 386103] Re: [i965] Compiz shows white screen when activated intel x3100 graphics card
*" Is there a way I can downgrade the package (as it was working* * just fine before) at least until karmic is released?"* In synaptic search for "xserver-xorg-video-intel" (searching in xorg intel would probably be enough, but that is the full name). Highlight the version you have installed, right click and choose "properties". This will bring up a dialog box. Choose the "versions" tab of this will show yo all of the available versions. Close the box after deciding which version you want to switch to. Then click on Package --> Force version install the version you want. After testing and making sure you are happy, highlight the version you want to keep in synaptic and choose Package --> lock version to keep that version from being overridden in another upgrade. You're always free to manually try new versions, or override the latest version by locking in an older version that works better with your hardware. Newer is not always better. You may want to file a new bug report before switching back to an older version. Use the bug reporting tool. It will send info to the DEV team that will help them find the root cause. I hope this helps. Sean On Sat, Oct 17, 2009 at 9:11 PM, mitchcyber wrote: > This is a little confusing.

Re: [Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 386103] Re: [i965] Compiz shows white screen when activated intel x3100 graphics card
I will do this some time this weekend. Since then I have downgraded the intel driver and the xorg in my 9.04 by adding the repository for older intel drivers and choosing 'force version' in synaptic. Now compiz will not work, but the segfault causes the WM to default to Metacity. This is preferable to a white screen. eye candy is nice but a useable system is more important. Metacity is fine for everyday work. I will burn the CD, boot and send a set copies of the logs this weekend. sean On Fri, Jul 10, 2009 at 4:28 AM, Bryce Harrington wrote: > Well, next I'd like to forward this issue upstream, but first it must be > retested on latest development version of Karmic to make sure the issue > still happens there with the latest code.

Thank you. I will read the threads related to this and see if there are any solutions. Thanks again, Sean Lynch On Sun, Jun 14, 2009 at 11:03 PM, Robert Ancell wrote: > Thanks for your bug report.
