Lorenzo: I've seen that same thing before in other movie players when I have compiz turned on, but I assumed it was an unrelated bug. Guess not! I recall that whenever it happened, I had to restart the computer for it to go away. Interestingly though, there was a particular MPlayer output mode that didn't have the problem. Can't remember which one it was though, maybe gl or gl2.
I don't have compiz turned on anymore because of this and other reasons, but maybe I'll turn it back on to test Kraptor's findings. Kraptor: I have never had the 30 second freeze that you mention, and I know I've seen blinks before that were closer together than 30 seconds. However, I note that I do have the same wireless card as you, the Intel 3945. -- Occasional screen-wide "blink" when using opengl apps (compiz also) and Nvidia cards https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164589 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
