The problem I posted above, with the Dell DX-1100 machine is a different problem from this one. Some release later than release 12.04, the Intel graphics on this machine performed poorly (jagged graphics gradients, a.k.a. tearing), and even the Java Web-Start (IcedTea) logo window failed to work

It appears that this affects a very specific chip. That being said, I can't do much to help diagnose this. With that in mind, it would be useful to find out exactly what conditions are required for this to occur. Is it only that particular package? It should be tested across different OS versions

Hi Walter, Reproduced this bug on another Dell Optiplex GX50 (hostname: austen). I suspect the best workaround would be to install lubuntu 14.04LTS. Will verify that sometime this week. BW, Ian -- -- ACCU - Professionalism in programming - http://www.accu.org -- Free Software page -

it would be interesting to know what kernel module a functional system uses. you can use `lspci -vvnn` to figure this out. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1385920 Title: System does

now i'm beginning to agree that your problem is with your driver. there's no kernel drive in use for: VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation 82810E DC-133 (CGC) Chipset Graphics Controller [8086:7125] (rev 03) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) ** Changed in: lubuntu-meta (Ubuntu)

still, it would be good to find someone with similar hardware to confirm this. i've done some googling and i can't figure out what driver to use. this may be a real edge case. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu.
