[Bug 275285] Re: [intrepid] Flash, VirtualBox, Dosbox etc. video freezes after few seconds

[melondrift]

I thought of some other stuff to try.  I turned off the NVidia
proprietary driver and reconfigured XOrg to Vesa.

Now, I have good video, but in small window only.  When I try to access
large window I lose all video and audio.  (2.2Ghz AMD 9500 Quad Core,
3Gigs 677Mhz Ram, Nvidia 7600 GS PCIE with 512Megs Ram - this system
should have absolutely no problem with audio/video.)  With Vesa in
control, I tried the option posted way up there with the framebuffer
modification and it did nothing to change the video problem.

That sent me on another path, video drivers.  It turns out that the
Hardy install is using NVidia's 173.xx driver and Intrepid is using the
177.xx driver.  Ahaa!!  (The monkey said to the scientist.)

I went back to Intrepid and installed the 173.xx NVidia driver.  Now,
intrepid glitches more often and freezes faster than ever.  Also, the
widgets and icons are disappearing again.  Ugh.  (If only, if only, the
woodpecker sighed.  The bark on the tree was as soft as the sky.)

I'll try again in a couple months, but apparently the Intrepid is still
a little too young for me.
