Hello all. I recently purchased a Gazelle Pro laptop from System76 and did a fresh install of Kubuntu 13.04. No issues, other than Kamoso showing a green screen. It will take pictures, but I can't see an image prior to taking the pic. Kamerka and Kopete both work fine, so it's not an issue with the webcam. Has anyone else seen this issue? And if so, how did you resolve it? Thanks.

Looks like you will need to find some way to disable accelerated video playback in Kamoso.

Oh...sorry about that. I would be reduced to Googling at this point, as Kamoso is something I know next to nothing about.

According to https://01.org/linuxgraphics/node/130 the green screen problem is a bug in SNA (Sandybridge New Acceleration). If so, switching to UXA should solve it.
To switch from SNA to UXA, you'll need to edit the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf (or create that file if it doesn't already exist). You need root privileges to edit or create the file - this command will do the trick for that:
Code:kdesudo kate /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Code:Section "Device" Identifier "Intel Graphics" Driver "intel" Option "AccelMethod" "uxa" EndSection

Installing the latest Intel graphics drivers solved the green screen issue. https://01.org/linuxgraphics/downloa...-version-1.0.2
Thanks for the input everyone, I appreciate it.
