KDE Plasma 5 Problem Traced To Bug In Intel Graphics Driver 56

Posted by timothy on Thursday August 06, 2015 @09:36AM from the where's-the-glitch dept.

prisoninmate writes with news that certain complaints about the KDE Plasma 5 desktop environment may not be KDE's fault at all: Apparently, KDE Plasma 5 runs just fine, and the issue is related to a serious Intel Graphics Driver Stack bug. The good news is that a workaround for the bug is already available, and it requires you to modify the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf file from your Linux kernel-based operating system, by switching back to the older UXA acceleration method instead of the default SNA method used in many distros.

When did Slashdot become a proxy for shill political endorsements? So what if a candidate makes a talking point about this. Uber has lobbyists and now is winning over candidates. Sorry, this is not news.

Completely agree with mod. How is this event relevant? Some comic convention hero jumps on the racism bandwagon for a popular seeries, it ends up front page here. Us nerds need better news. What we have here is old and busted. PC pansies thought it was racist when it came out, how has anything remarkable changed or been added to that makes this conversation move valuable?
