Not fixed in 14.04.4 LTS. 14.04 originally did not have this garbled problem, but a fresh install of 14.04 does. Should I enter a new bug against 14.04 LTS since this Xenial bug is fixed? 14.04 is supposed to be supported until 2019 I think. -- You received this bug notification because you

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1507255] Re: Garbled graphics in Wily with Intel GMA4500 chip

Ubuntu Trusty 20160217 amd64 is still affected so I doubt that a fix will land for 14.04.4. That will be problematic for less advanced users affected because both the Wily and the updated Trusty images offered from the main download page(s) will fail to work. To me the obvious simple "workaround"

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1507255] Re: Garbled graphics in Wily with Intel GMA4500 chip

I took time to check Wily and the results are similar. This bug is present with the 4.2.0-27.30 kernel but the 4.2.0-29.31 kernel is OK. So I'm guessing the updated intel driver fails to build properly with kernels prior to 4.2.0-29 -- You received this bug notification because you are

Looking at the 14.04.4 RC again this AM I find that the 4.2.0-29.23 kernel is OK, but this bug is present with 4.2.0-27.21. So this is apparently not so much an X bug as a kernel bug?? AFAIK Xenial is (or at least has been) affected by this also and I'll be testing the Beta 1 candidates next

Not surprisingly this also affects the Trusty dailies based on testing Ubuntu GNOME Trusty 20160124 amd64 since they have the Wily HWE. So the flavors participating may want to mention it in their release notes, recommending that users affected use the archived 14.04.1 images. ** Tags added:
