Christopher, as soon as possible I'll have a look with a newest release based on xfce or lxde. This notebook is not my primary machine but just a spare one I used to debug when I was part of the Lububtu team. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which

Federico Leoni, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. As per https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases, Ubuntu 13.04 reached EOL on January 27, 2014. Is this reproducible in a supported release? ** Tags removed: xorg ** Tags added: latest-bios-a12 ** Changed in:

I am running peppermint 4 on an IBM Thinkpad X30 which has the Intel 82830M/MG graphics controller and I had the same problem of frequent black screens and hang ups. The workaround that Federico mentioned also worked for me. The way I implemented it was: changing/making the xorg.conf by sudo

Understood Chris, sometimes I need to read with more attention, English is not my primary language. Seems my display simply can't handle 24bit color depth, if I force a 16bit color depth on xorg I can see great degrade of the render, clearly evident on desktop wallpaper (see pic). About the

Chris, I don't want to bother you but I have to insist: with the UXA accelmethod the problem does not occurs. I created the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf instead of using the old xorg.conf and my notebook now works fine on both 13.04 (kernel 3.8.x) and 13.10 (3.10.x). Don't you

I've told you exactly what the issue is: No, that is a bug in adobe's software renderer not being able to handle any none 24-depth framebuffers. It equally affects you if have a 30- or 36-bpp monitor. The correct workaround here is specifying DefaultDepth 24 or just complaining to adobe. The

Chris, on Lubuntu mailing list we have a thread speaking about a workaround for another issue with xserver-xorg-video-intel and flash that seems to solve the problem I have. As reported on commentary #1 on bug 1178982, using UXA as accelmethod option on xorg.xonf solve the issue of that bug

My display is set to 1024x768x16bit and I can assure it's working fine now with UXA. I tested this render method only by accident to see if it will improve Flash on such an old machine. Just to let you know I'm using flash 10.x due to an incompatibility with my cpu and 11.x. As soon as I can
