Folks, My hard drive took a dive, I had it mostly backed up but still had to go through and pick some stuff out, well dd was my very good friend.
Now I moved from Ubuntu Mate 20.04 to 22.04 Prior to that move the video had been working perfectly. I use Compiz as my window manager, have done so for years. I have never had issues except once where I had to download the Nvidia bloob to get things right video wise. Well after the install of everything and moving over to Compiz from Mate Marco, I have encountered things that make it rough. When the screen goes dark sometimes I can not get it to come back. all I get is a black screen I can see the cursor move around. The recovery is to ssh into the machine and kill the session. NOW, wen the session comes back up it is in a very low resolution, I am running a 2560 x 1080 screen have been now for quite some time, On the orginal system I had no problems with it. Also things like gkrellm do not remember their location at shutdown and come up in the wrong location. There is other weirdness but those are some of the high points. I run compiz because I am very used to it and have a lot of shortcuts particularly with the mouse buttons and wheel I tried to use a regular desktop and about pulled my hair out trying to navigate without compiz. The one thing I have noticed when the desktop comes back up after I have to kill it to gain access, the resolution has dropped to 1600 x 900. If I try to increase it again the video tears in the areas where the screen was increased in size. The machine is a Optiplex 9010, running Ubuntu Mate 22.04. 16G of ram. The 7 processors are idling at from 0% to 11%. All else appears to be working just fine. Just the video. -- Chuck Hast -- KP4DJT -- I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
