I updated the xserver-xorg-video-intel and DRM packages to their ppa :xorg-edgers versions and installed the 3.9.0-994.201304110406 kernel from drm-intel-nightly.
When booting the drm-intel-nightly kernel, the mouse does not work (cursor will not move) and the screen corrupts when switching to a tty. So this drm-intel-nightly kernel is totally unusable. When booting the raring kernel, everything seems to work so far. I will continue using the ppa:xorg-edgers packages and see if I still experience visual gliches. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1157458 Title: visual glitch in Evolution's importance button, etc. Status in “xserver-xorg-video-intel” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: I can see visual glitches from time to time.
