Anyone other fixes available yet? I also get screen corruption on other desktop environments (xfce mainly), but it took a while of heavy usage on them. It seems to favor corrupting HUD in Precise. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed t

I get font corruption in an i915 both with 512M and after upgrade to 2G memory and no swap in either case. Only adding the 'debugwait' fix makes the font corruption go away for me in either Unity or Cinnamon desktop. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs,

Rui: You're welcome. I don't know if running with less swap will help but it is interesting that no swap seems to hide the problem completely. Can people the other people subscribed to this bug also reproduce this problem when using a LiveCD and do they find that running a system with swap disabl

Hi, Thanks for the prompt help. I confirm that after 'sudo swapoff -a' the problem is gone. System info shows memory size 741MB. I uncovered the PC and it has 2X256MB+2X128MB. So, running Ubuntu with a lower swap size might help until there is a final solution for this? -- You received this bu

(Subscribing Rui Moreira) Rui: Can you reproduce this if you immediately disable swap after you finish booting (i.e. sudo swapoff -a ) Also, how much memory do you have in the machine? To anyone who stumbles on this bug report: If you are posting comments on launchpad bug reports that affect yo

I'm experiencing this problem since I upgraded from 11.04 to 11.10. I thought it had been a bad upgrade and I then did a fresh install and the problem remains. I've also experienced this on both Kde and Gnome sessions. Sessions without acceleration like Ubuntu 2D are not affected. My VGA card i
