Heads up: new Ubuntu Linux release coming

jhdl · 05-16-2016, 01:35 PM

I found the new version of the driver is available today.

I installed it and it (on 16.04 Ubuntu Gnome) and it seems to work! Thanks!

There are a couple small glitches, like the mouse pointer leaving little artifacts on the screen occasionally (on both primary and secondary screens).

Also, secondary screens seem to be scaled 2X - the resolution seems to be correct but windows displayed on them are twice as big as on the primary screen. Any pointers on how to solve that?

Looks like I'll need to play around with scaling settings:

... With the new driver released today, it was working pretty well, until I rebooted.

Now when I plug in the dock and monitor, the monitor is not recognized so I end up with a 1024x768 mode on it, rather than the 3840x2160 mode that I got before the reboot. (and the monitor brand and model was recognized before the reboot).

Any ideas on that?

@jhdl: Please raise this in a separate thread, and collect and attach debugging information for us to analyse. Thanks.
