I'm running saucy from an external harddrive. When multimonitor support landed a week ago, I noticed artifacts in dualscreen mode. I updated my installation and checked today, the artifacts are still there.
Artifacts seen:
- When moving the mouse, the a mouse trail can be seen. Additionally the cursor is randomly invisible and and the trail artifacts look interlaced and distorted. These artifacts are visible for more than 2 seconds.
- When opening a terminal, the terminal feels unresponsive showing inputs only after a few seconds. Executing apt-get update looks like the output is scrolling back and forth.
These artifacts are not visible with Mir disabled. With Mir in single monitor mode, I haven't noticed above artifacts but when moving windows fast there are few lines showing combing artifacts for a very short time and opening the power cog for the first time shows artifacts too, but the system is usable. |
