Okay, I enabled the "Processor microcode firmware for AMD CPUs from amd64-microcode (proprietary)" and performance has improved somewhat, for both the Dashboard and streaming video playback (both embedded video and fullscreen video).
Dashboard still showing some garbage output, when I put in search terms, and the display does not tidy up after showing me the relevant icons; but searched icons do appear and Dashboard is usable. Again, my legacy laptop's display problem is not really solved yet. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1625873 Title: display issues - dashboard unstable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1625873/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
