I was having an extreme graphics regression bug with Ubuntu Lucid, every program I opened I encountered GUI problems, and this was with Compiz turned off. I solved my problem by upgrading to kernel 2.6.34 by the advice of Stenten and all my problems went away and Ubuntu Lucid ran beautifully. This proves to me that it was not part of a quadrapassel bug or VLC bug, something in the newer kernel completely fixes the problems I was having. I have rigorously been testing Ubuntu Lucid for about a month now with the new kernel and can confirm I no longer can find one graphics issue and the distro runs incredibly stable.
For the easiest instructions as to how to upgrade to the new kernel you can do this in terminal by: downloading the packages: wget -c http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel- ppa/mainline/v2.6.34-lucid/linux- headers-2.6.34-020634-generic_2.6.34-020634_i386.deb http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.34-lucid/linux- headers-2.6.34-020634_2.6.34-020634_all.deb http://kernel.ubuntu.com /~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.34-lucid/linux- image-2.6.34-020634-generic_2.6.34-020634_i386.deb install the packages: sudo dpkg -i linux- headers-2.6.34-020634-generic_2.6.34-020634_i386.deb linux- headers-2.6.34-020634_2.6.34-020634_all.deb linux- image-2.6.34-020634-generic_2.6.34-020634_i386.deb I would like to thank everyone for their help and I am so happy that Lucid is now working the way it should! ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) Status: New => Fix Released -- intel gma x3100 causes many gui issues ubuntu lucid 10.04 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/575943 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ 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
