Public bug reported: I've just upgraded my machine to Jaunty (from Hardy) and have started experiencing X crashes. It's hard to describe exactly what the problem is, as it appears to be random. As an example, I might simply hit ctrl-D inside a terminal window to close it, and X might or might

It affects KDE 3.5.10, however, the severity of the problem turned out to be a driver bug. That said, the same draw events that created the flicker are of course still being run, they're just going by a lot faster now. There may still be something that needs fixed, if only to make the menu

Same problem for me. A partial solution was to install a vanilla kernel from kernel.org. cx88-alsa loads now (after working around an I2C- related bug) but the audio I get out of it is wildly distorted - mythtv sounds like it is sampling at ~8 kHz but is otherwise clear, kradio has this

Follow-up: I believe I found the problem - KDM is being started way too early in the boot process, well before HAL is started. It's been my experience in the past that HAL must be started first, or KDE will not sense its presence. I modified my boot order slightly, by removing
