Topic: Blurry 2D acceleration
I recently did an apt-upgrade which seemed to install new kernel etc, and now when 2D acceleration is turned on my screen is blurry. Not only does it look blurry, but capturing a screenshot captures a blurry image!
I am using a screen driven from the HDMI port, and do not have and eDP screen installed.
In /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/60-novena.conf under the Device section if I set the UseGPU to true:
Section "Device"
Identifier "novena"
Driver "armada"
Option "UseGPU" "true" # change to "false" to disable 2D acceleration
Option "XvPreferOverlay" "FALSE" # FALSE enables xv acceleration
# The next two options switch it from galcore to etnadrm mode
Option "Screen" "0"
Option "AccelModule" "etnadrm_gpu"
EndSection
Section "Files"
ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules/"
ModulePath "/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/xorg/modules/"
EndSection
My screen looks like this:

And with 2D turned off:
Section "Device"
Identifier "novena"
Driver "armada"
Option "UseGPU" "false" # change to "false" to disable 2D acceleration
My screen looks fine:

Here are the novena-eeprom contents:

And the result of cat /proc/version
Linux version 3.19.0-00485-gc5f2138 (xobs@xobs-novena-laptop) (gcc version 4.9.2 (Debian 4.9.2-10) ) #858 SMP PREEMPT Tue Sep 15 13:41:23 SGT 2015
And oddly, when I run Novena EEprom GUI it the window contents are initially blurry, but when I select a different tab the contents of that window are not blurry, although the rest of the screen remains blurry. When I tried to make a screenshot of that screen the whole capture was blurry.
Any suggestion would be appreciated.
