It seems the bug appears only when more than one users are simultaneously logged into the system. At least logging into system one user at time seems to help a lot in avoiding the bug. This may also be the reason why bug is not common for most users and not so easily detected (according to counter.li.org 41.67% of Linux users have only one account in their system).
It also seems that bug resolves when I log all the users out and start a new session in the situation where no users are logged in. This is even a bit strange, because the screen is corrupt even in gdm login screen, which should not depend on running sessions as I (maybe incorrectly) presume. Sitsofe: I think I could test 3.0 kernel from Ubuntu Oneiric alpha Live CD. If I have time and possibility to do that on my computer, I'll try that out. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/820881 Title: [i945] Heavy screen and font corruption on GMA950 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/820881/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
