60 seconds on the desktop (recorded with phone)

note: doing a gnome3 screencapture gives undistorted video, so it seems the actual issue is in the intel driver.
also note: creating a classic session makes the issues disappear.

there was an updates of x11-driver-video-intel for 3-4 weeks, does it work better since ?

Hi,

This bug was filed against cauldron, but we do not have cauldron at the moment.

Please report whether this bug is still valid for Mageia 2.

Thanks :)

Cheers,
marja

2x no reply, closing as old.

Please reopen when needed and tell for which version(s) of Mageia this bug is still valid.

If it is valid for both cauldron and Mageia 2, then please put MGA2TOO on the whiteboard and let version remain set to cauldron
