Particularly when only one monitor is updating. TEST CASE: Open a terminal in XMir, move it onto a single monitor, and hold down a key. Expected: Key appears to repeat smoothly. Observed: Key sometimes appears to skip one character/frame ahead, and then back again. WORKAROUND (1) 1. sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager 2. ccsm & 3. CCSM > OpenGL > (untick everything except maybe "Sync To VBlank") WORKAROUND (2) Use simpler single buffering desktop environment, like Xfce. WORKAROUND (3) Unplug all external monitors. Use a single monitor :( To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mir/+bug/1216472/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
