Okay, I enabled the "Processor microcode firmware for AMD CPUs from amd64-microcode (proprietary)" and performance has improved somewhat, for both the Dashboard and streaming video playback (both embedded video and fullscreen video).
Dashboard still showing some garbage output, when I put in search terms, and the display does not tidy up after showing me the relevant icons; but searched icons do appear and Dashboard is usable. Again, my legacy laptop's display problem is not really solved yet. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1625873 Title: display issues - dashboard unstable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1625873/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
