penalvch, I did not get very far with git bisect, would you confirm if the following seems appropriate?
I am following the KernelBisection wiki, and the command git log --oneline Ubuntu-3.5.0-16.25..Ubuntu-3.5.0-17.26 gives git bisect start Ubuntu-3.5.0-17.26 Ubuntu-3.5.0-16.25 Bisecting: a merge base must be tested [d61ed4631511b08d2e14924eab16a9ddaed44df6] Linux 3.5.4 the command git rev-list Ubuntu-3.5.0-17.26 | grep $(git log --pretty=oneline -1 Ubuntu-3.5.0-16.25 | cut -d' ' -f1) does not produce sha1 or any other output. So, although my debian and debian.master folders did not disappear, I think should switch to mainline bisection. From http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/info /kernel-version-map.html I get 3.5.4 .. 3.5.5 in section Quantal (master-next -0). In git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-quantal.git, I don't see any tags 3.5.4 or 3.5.5. So I should git clone something else. In git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git I see similar tags. So, I think I should be bisecting between tags v3.5-rc4 and v3.5-rc5 in git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-quantal.git . -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1300349 Title: 8086:0a16 [Dell Inspiron 17R 5737] Video looks interlaced Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: The video looks like interlaced video where every other line is shifted.
