Public bug reported:
My laptop is HP Pavilion g7 (Intel® Core™ i5-2430M CPU with Radeon HD
6470M and Intel HD 3000 GPUs
Already have played with Ubuntu on older spec desktops with no issues at
all, however when when installing Ubuntu 18.04 from installation USB,
had to boot with nomodeset to overcome freezing as a result of Ubuntu
18.04 not recognising/supporting these drivers
Tried to search for additional drivers but none found
Video handling resorts to llvmpipe (LLVM 9.0.0, 256 bits)
My problem is that Video Playback is VLC very choppy in full screen mode
- seems to get a little better when minimised, but effectively not
usable.
Have tried many threads posted regarding this problem, but nothing seems
to work.
Would really like to migrate my workload onto Ubuntu 18.04 operating
system, but this seems to be a real non starter where i can't play video
content, as video editing is a core function in my workload.
Not sure if there is a solution for this, however after researching many
similar threads, coupled with your in depth response to similar problems
leaves me hopeful that you can point me in the right direction, or worst
case scenario tell me there is no solution at all, and that I will have
to stick to the hateful Windows 10 which is supported and working.
1) not sure if it is just a simple graphics acceleration problem ?
2) as flgrx no longer supported (for AMD Catalyst on Radeon HD 6470 M - can I
disable this GPU somewhere on boot - as this seems to be where boot goes into a
tizz. If so, how would I do this.
3) if i did this would XORG then recognise other GPU - Intel HD 3000 and give
me correct rendering to eliminate choppy video
I am a noob, but have been playing with Ubuntu for some time, albeit at
very low level, not totally computer illiterate, but do feel I am out of
my depth in trying to resolve this. It just seems odd that it works fine
on much lower spec and older desktops, but that I cant get this to work
on my not so outdated laptop.
Ubuntu Release 18.04.3
