Re: Linux kernel 2.6.31 released
Interesting, Dibl!
Have you tried the xllperf program, which tests the xserver?"A nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people.”

Re: Linux kernel 2.6.31 released
Well, on the URL you posted I saw a snippet of a command called ./perf and got curious about it. I did a locate and noticed that Karmic has a program called x11perf and x11perfcomp. A "man x11perf" showed how to run it. I decided to go whole hog and do all of the tests:
It was very revealing. In EVERY test the image that was drawn was marred by white horizontal bands of various sizes moving up through the image. Some of the 1 and 10 pixel line images give "patterns" (quoted because they look more like noise) gave exactly the same mess as is created when I hit F2 in Stellarium. That configuration dialog looks like a mess of single pixel horizontal lines that shimmer when I move the mouse over them. I filmed some of the tests with my digital camera. Some may protest that the vsync of the camera may not match the vsync of the screen, but the movies made by my camera are exactly what my naked eye sees.x11perf -all -display $DISPLAY

Re: Linux kernel 2.6.31 released
Interesting -- thanks for this information, GG!
Well, I started the test 10 minutes ago on my system, and it is still running. The good news is, I see nothing that makes me suspect a problem. The bad news is ... I wonder when it will finish? I have the impression that if I don't end it, it will go on forever, in some kind of endless loop. Here's the last few minutes of it:

Wow, you got up to "-wline100", #67, which is about half of them.
Did all of your patterns look crisp and dark, without any white horizontal bars moving up through the pattern?
