I checked for a new BIOS, but version 13XK is the last available. If I start in text-mode and then run from my VT-1 lightdm service manually I see this screen/display corruption. On a restart of lightdm everything is fine. How can I check if my greeter and/or unity(-2d) is the culprit? AFAICS I have here E17 for testing. I made no benchmark with the (new) d-i-n w/ dropped patches. Lemme see if I find some time. - Sedat - _______________________________________________ Intel-gfx mailing list Intel-gfx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
