Panel Bug

Post by YDxVCT »

Something is going wrong with my panel. From time to time is goes crazy and I need to reboot to make everything fine. Changing theme is not helping.

Thank you all for response. My video card is AMD Radeon HD 7670M. I've got switchable graphics. But the point is that problem occurs only with panel, everything else works fine. I mean video, fullscreen games, etc. Btw, I'm not sure, but It looks like that bug was occurring after track changing in Clementine music player.

How did your system run originally with the default drivers? There is very little difference performance wise between the open source drivers and the proprietary drivers. You might try switching drivers to see if that fixes this. My laptop uses ATI graphics, not the same as yours unfortunately but I have better results with the open source drivers. Using the proprietary drives gives me washed out looking display.

I wish I could be of more help. Maybe someone with the same graphics card you are using will join in an offer more advice. If it were me though I would try switching drivers and see if the problem persists. This kind of problem seems to be occurring fairly often lately.
