Sudden shaking and rotation of the image

Postby matadrox » Fri May 13, 2022 3:28 pm

As I look around with the mouse, the image starts to vibrate very quickly and rotate to all sides. The overall performance for my laptop is satisfactory. Cpu i7, 6GB ram, Nvidia540M. The trouble comes while looking around. Does anyone know anything about this issue?

Try disabling everything in Menu -> View -> Cockpit view settings and see if it persists. If so, it's likely a bug of your graphics card / drivers, for which a graphics driver update and / or an OS upgrade might help.

Thank you for your interest. Turns out it's the Wayland display server, causing the problem. There was a limitation in rotating the image 360 degrees. On the X server, nothing like this happens, and I had completely forgotten that I was using Wayland.
