graphics very slow after update

[John Kuhns]

After latest full-upgrade and reboot noticed visual-bell was very slow (seconds) to flash the screen. Noticed screen-saver very slow too. Tried fgl_glxgears and got only 100-200 FPS. Normally, I've been getting 1100-1200 FPS.

with the latest Karmic updates (10/19) it seems to be much better half the time. I rebooted four times. Every other time I had way slow graphics (100 FPS) and the other times I had decent graphics (800 FPS). Anyways, so now I'm getting around 70% of what I got before the last beta update every other boot. Which is much more livable than 10% all the time...

Hi John,

This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux 444001

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Jeremy -

This issue was resolved with the official release of Karmic (or maybe
before).

Thanks,
-John
