Comment 8 for bug 1855220

@Aaron/arraybolt3

I filed against the package I did, as I don't experience it on other boxes that include much slower CPUs than those listed here, but instead use i915 or AMD gpu.

Examples where I've not experienced this include (some slower boxes)

- lenovo thinkpad sl510 (c2d-t6570, 2gb ram, i915)
- motion computing j3400 (c2d-u9400, 4gb, intel mobile 4 series) (I believe too)
- dell [optiplex] 745 (c2d-6600, 6gb, amd/ati radeon rv516/x1300/x1550)
- dell [optiplex] 755 (c2d-e6850, 5gb, amd/ati radeon rv516/x1300/x1550)
- dell [optiplex] 755 (c2d-e8300, 8gb, amd/ati radeon rv610/radeon hd2400 pro/xt)

I mention looking for this on another d780 and not experiencing it (comment 2) and don't recall it occurring on the d960 which was my primary box (though as flurry isn't my personal choice; it was only likely used when box was used for live testing), and those boxes would have to be seen as slower than

- hp 8200 elite sff (i5-2400, 8gb, nvidia quadro 600)

where this is experienced. I suspect it's very video card related; and as I also note in comment #2; seems to only occur when two displays are connected & used.

Also, IF only a single display is active; even the HP 8200 (comment 2) didn't have an issue with 'flurry' I report (my vertical alignment can trigger a condition an issue when openbox is used where xscreensaver only covers a single screen which is I suspect maybe the 'choppy' behavior wasn't noticed on a card usually impacted; ie. the GPU is slowed enough when it handles two screens & issue is visible my theory).

This issue is minor, and I pretty much ignore it. Users can always just switch to a different screensaver (I do!); it's not great for users who have boxes/setups where they experience this on a 'new' or 'live' system in my opinion.
