I confirm that this is a problem on XFCE as well. I'm on a Carbon X1 3rd gen, and got the corrupted characters and other artifacts/missing objects (Icons, ui elements, etc).
I used the SNA workaround, and have been bothered by the slow performance ever since. Specifically, scrolling in most apps (most notably in a browser) is excruciatingly slow. The time it takes to render anything on screen is really noticeable (and by noticeable I mean painful.) I use this laptop for work in Inkscape, Gimp, Scribus for graphics layouts, etc, and it's only barely usable compared to my 6-year-old x100 original. It's the main issue which keeps this from being an awesome Linux laptop. Any idea on whether the Intel drivers are supposed to get some attention for this? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1432194 Title: Graphics unstable on Ubuntu 14.04 and 14.10 using Intel HD Graphics 5500 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/1432194/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
