Can anyone confirm if there is a solution to this problem?
I am experiencing exactly the same issue with my Radeon 4850 on lucid. Minimising and restoring windows is painfully slow and...
Hi guys,
I've just installed Ubuntu (10.04) on my PC and am having some issues with the graphics.
I have an ATI Radeon 4850 card for which I have enabled the propietary driver.
When I...
I can confirm this bug persists in 10.4. Fresh OS installed yesterday. I just turned the icon off but it'd be much nicer if I didn't have to.
Hi guys. I currently have Ubuntu Jaunty installed. I want to try out Kubuntu but just installing the kubuntu-desktop meta package is a bit of a pain as it fills my application menu with a bunch of...
Hi guys
Just installed Ubuntu on my new machine and am having a very strange audio problem.
I'm getting a kind of buzzing feedback through my speakers that appears to respond to what's going on...
Umm, possibly try enabling compiz?
Or perhaps run an opengl game? Supertux2 runs terribly for me because it relies on opengl.
Or run the program "glxgears" from the console, maximise the...
Ah, that's pretty disappointing to hear Bgerlich :(. That'd be why I didn't get too excited about the above news.
Nevertheless, I suppose if this version worked in Feisty it's possible future...
This sounds really amazing.
I'm not going to get too excited until I see it actually working but I really hope this pans out!
Does anyone have the necessary skills to port this to Ubuntu?
I would not recommend anyone using Ubuntu 8.04 (possibly any release) attempt to run the .deb that Webbie mentions
I tried it and my xserver died completely and wouldn't restart, even after...
This sounds very interesting! I look forward to hearing your results.
Thanks for your hard work bgerlich! It's very much appreciated.
Now if only SiS would abandon their ridiculous policy of not releasing the 3D driver....
They have said they would only release...
Hi guys,
I have the troublesome RTL8187b card which has in the past been a real pain in the behind to work with.
Recently I was forced to install Windows on a separate partition and dual boot...
Well I'm now fairly certain I can confirm it was a software issue in Intrepid as opposed to a hardware one.
Since downgrading to hardy 2 days ago there has been no problem whatsoever. Everything...
Well I'm afraid I'm giving up and re-installing Hardy. This problem is making using the computer pretty impossible.
On the upside I will at least be able to confirm or refute my suspicion that...
Thanks for the suggestions Snuxoll.
I'm fairly certain the system isn't overheating. Like I said it is a laptop and the fan is definitely working. Unfortunately temperature apps I've tried to...
Thanks for the reply!
It's a laptop, so there's no opening it up, but the fan is definitely working as I can hear it and feel the warm air being blown out of the vent. I've got the computer on my...
Thanks for the replies chaps. I'm currently experiencing the slowdown (once it starts it doesn't stop until I reboot). I will include below the screenshots of my system monitor and "top" running in...
Thanks for the reply!
My specs are:
Intel Core 2 Duo 1.5ghz
2Gig of ram
120gig HDD
SiS Mirage 3 graphics. (currently using vesa driver)
It's an Advent 9315 laptop purchased about 12...
Hi guys,
I've discovered a new and weird symptom of this problem. It quite literally makes time slow down.
I noticed that my taskbar clock was showing the wrong time and then checked other...
Thanks for the reply Hal!
Unfortunately I'm not using compiz/visual effects at all, so that can't be it. The problem persists even using just the vesa driver. I'll try out that system monitor you...
Also - I've just noticed that watching video becomes unbearable. Video's played both locally and on the web get stuttering video and audio.
Really hope someone knows how to figure this out as I...
Hi guys,
I recently installed Intrepid and am having a weird problem. It's pretty hard to describe so please bear with me.
Periodically the system starts experiencing a very odd slowdown. I...
This sounds phenomenal! Is anyone able to confirm if this works in Intrepid so I can start thinking about upgrading ? :)
Sadly it seems that a 3D driver capable of handling compiz/eye candy is not forthcoming any time soon. Whilst it's been indicated that SiS has developed a 3D driver they have so far shown no...
Hi guys,
Has anyone had any success getting the 2D SiS driver to work in intrepid? To get it work in Hardy I followed the instructions here.
It seems though that with the new Xorg in Intrepid...
