Hi, Sorry it took me so long to get to this, but I finally managed to download the daily build and run it (in VirtualBox) on my machine. I tried with both Unity and Gnome-Fallback (which is what I'm using on my real install) and the problem had disappeared for both. Unless VB interfaces

Just in case a VirtualBox session in fact bypasses Trinity driver, I ran a live session with the daily build and the problem was solved for that, too. The only thing was that I'm not aware of any way to run gnome-fallback in a live session... David -- You received this bug notification

Hi, I'll try to load the dev iso on to a usb device and run a live session on my machine some time in the next few days. Thanks, David -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1262377

In a very unhappy coincidence, I just installed Ubuntu 13.04 on a completely different box running the Radeon HD 7480D video driver and I'm getting the exact same problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu.

Public bug reported: I'm running 13.10 with Gnome-Fallback and a Trinity Radeon HD 7540 and I'm encountering flickering (among individual objects - not the whole display), screen regions being randomly shaded (in at least Firefox and LibreOffice Calc) and object drawing failures (the grid in a

@Tim Thanks for the correction. However, I see that 855gm-fix-exp-dkms comes with a bit of a threat of its own: Stability may suffer with this version. If you experience frequent crashes than please install the non-exp-version of this package. And 855gm-fix-dkms isn't perfect either: Known

I installed the Glasenhart patch on my Edubuntu thin client server - two of the clients have i845 chips. There was no improvement in the client experience: it still makes it to the login screen but crashes as soon as the user completes the login process. I haven't had the guts to install Brian

I first added ppa:glasen/intel-driver to my repositories and then installed libdrm (actually it was called libdrm2 - marked for upgrade - in my synaptic) and xserver-xorg-video-intel (also marked for upgrade). I assume that would have got the job done. Is there something I missed? Thanks --
