Intel driver issues with Flash Player on Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat

I solved the glitches I was having when going to fullscreen, for instance, on Youtube videos (among others).

I just installed the drivers provided by some guy that has them a bit more upgraded:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:glasen/intel-driver
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

I restarted my box and everything worked like a charm afterwards.

This was the last thing preventing me to have a fully working Ubuntu machine.

Good luck ;-)

Intel console framebuffer with Debian Squeeze

In order to have a native resolution console on Intel hardware you just need to install one package that adds KMS support:

sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel

This installs some X.org related stuff but also a module that adds console framebuffer support on widescreen resolutions, etc etc.

The conf file is:

/etc/modprobe.d/i915-kms.conf
