Public bug reported: with the change away from the intel driver to modeset I get a lot of tearing.
This video shows the problem. https://goo.gl/photos/rXNBQ5KR6ZMnhazB9 And the video capture is done in 240fps so its possible to see what is happening more clearly. The test video itself is just a short test video with alternating red/green pictures in 60Hz. What you should see is a somewhat flickering screen but the color should be a consistent orange hue. there should be no pulsing of colors that is more green then back to more red and so on then something is wrong. I have attached the video. if you are uncertain how it should look try to play it directly on a TV. that is with the TV own player not with a computer as that has a lot higher probability of not having any issues with vsync and frame updates. ** Affects: xorg-server (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Attachment added: "test video" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1605953/+attachment/4706138/+files/kenjo_vidtest_60fps.mp4 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1605953 Title: skylake Modesetting Driver on X failure To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/1605953/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
