NOT THIS AGAIN!!

I thought this was taken care of by now?? I haven't run this OS through a couple of versions and thought
it's got to be better by Now...

I have been running 17.06 for a week and a half now and only Today, this starts up again with this jittery
graphics. WHY is this?

OpenGL Compositor changed in systemsettings already?
Might be a driver related issue.

Hi,

I have exactly the same ATI card on one of my old laptops and have been running Maui without any problems on it (using it as home multimedia center, for movies, YouTube etc.). I switched the graphics to glamor and it works perfectly. I think I also turned on DRI3, but don't remember right now if that went automatically with glamor. Anyway, Google is your friend for this, just switch to glamor, turn on DRI3 and I think your problems will be gone

Cheers..
