[Bug 375264] [NEW] GM965/GL960: video and compiz issues after jaunty upgrade

[Nathan Dorfman]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

Like others, I began having issues with Intel graphics after upgrading
intrepid to jaunty. I happen to be lucky in that mine are not severe
compared to others. If I can in any way help speed the fixes along, by
testing new code or whatever, great.

I removed my card from the Compiz blacklist and have been using this
Acer Aspire 5920 laptop constantly since upgrading two weeks ago. Since
then, I have observed only the following issues:

- Flash video is choppy and unplayable. This is the most serious issue.
By comparison, a 700MB " RIFF (little-endian) data, AVI, 720 x 304,
25.00 fps, video: XviD" file plays fine in totem, including full screen.
Do I need to compare with a better quality video?

- "Reflection" Compiz plugin hangs X shortly into the session. No hangs
have recurred since I disabled this plugin.

- "Rotate Cube" and "Shift Switcher" Compiz plugins perform poorly,
although still would have been impressive a few years back. 2D plugins
like wobbly windows, transparency, animations appear to work fine.

That's all. I hope the ubuntu-bug tool is attaching the right info, and
I'll be glad to provide any more if it could help. Thanks, and have a
good day!
