[solved]screen bounces in gnome3/cinnamon

Post by pouar »

the desktop bounces in a weard way when using gnome 3 or cinnamon, problem not present when using fallback mode or cinnamon 2d and is only present when graphics acceleration is enabled, I've attatched 2 screenshot taken between intervals, I'm pretty sure it's virtualbox (the vboxvideo driver at least) because it happens across distros and is not present on the host

looks like it was the host, I downgraded my graphics drivers on the host and the problem went away, it was nouveau by the way
