While the patch provided (http://people.ubuntu.com/~bryce/Testing/intel/) does prevent the tearing problem, it also causes a new problem.
About 10% of the time that I open a movie in mplayer, the screen will entirely switch to one (random) color and flash between that color and black on an irregular basis. Oddly, the programs running are still responsive (i.e. 'q' still quits, and 'space' still pauses mplayer), but there is no way to use the computer at this point. Switching to a virtual console (ctrl-alt-F1) simply causes the screen to black out. Ctrl-alt-backspace has no effect. The only way to recover is to reboot the system. -- video tearing with textured video on intel card https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/278318 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
