All as described happened the first time i ran the "Try Ubuntu". I shut everything down and did everything exactly the same a second time to confirm and write this bug report.
Afterwards I have tried 2 more times (also exactly the same) and the screen resolution worked both times (nolonger an issue). BUT - The Try/Install page is always split in the middle and the far top of the screen keeps flickering as described (to be exact, the entire screen is flickering with seemingly diagonal lines moving across light purple/orange/gray areas - difficult to describe but annoying to such degree that is affecting usability - almost as much as Unity :-). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/972294 Title: Precise GMA500 screen resolution and flicker To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/972294/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
