I think regressions should be treated with top priority. i have to face two important regressions since Ubuntu 7.04 :
1°) defects concerning image rendering My video card is an ATI Radeon 8500 LE (R200) which is not rare stuff. a) Compiz is activated since Ubuntu 7.10. Since then i have that bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/150058 b) Since Ubuntu 8.04 i have that bug also https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.0/+bug/182038 Therefore switching from Ubuntu 7.04 to Ubuntu 8.04 creates is an important regression in image rendering (bugs a + b) 2°) Photo Import from Canon IXUS 30/Powershot SD200 failed since Ubuntu 7.10 see that bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/f-spot/+bug/158119 Considering my hardware components (ATI R200 and Canon camera) which are not rare, that makes a lot of regressions since Ubuntu 7.04 (bugs 1a + 1b + 2)... --- Please, note that there is a workaround concerning bug 1 bug 1° a) disapears if i switch to metacity with composite (gconftool-2 -s --type bool /apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager true) bug 1° b) disapears if i add in my xorg.conf : Option "AccelMethod" "EXA" but it creates another bug that is solved if i add also Option "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.0/+bug/182038/comments/71 Therefore, switching to metacity with composite and adding Option "AccelMethod" "EXA" & Option "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy" completly solves bug 1 a+b Maybe that should be default settings for R200 ? But i don't have any workaround for the camera bug, therefore i don't know what to with my pictures :-( I'd be please to wait for a fix but i'd like to be sure that someone is working on it Thanks -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
