Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati
Since this occurs on my parents' laptop, I cannot run commands from
here. I'll try to do that later.
This happens on a vostro 1000 with ati radeon xpress 200M integrated
graphics. I removed proprietary fglrx driver following instruction on
Ubuntu community pages. Doing this, made bug #498586 dissappear, but
another one appear.
1) The release of Ubuntu you are using
Ubuntu 10.10 86_64
2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy packagename'
or by checking in Synaptic.
most recent
3) What you expected to happen
normal boot
4) What happened instead
when the system starts, a blinking cursor appears after which the login screen
should appear. Instead, vertical color pixel lines appear all over the screen.
This also happens while changing user in a running system.
5) Temporary 'workaround'
Closing the lid of the laptop and re-opening it makes the lines dissappear and
login screen shows up. This doesn't work when changing user in a running
system, forced shut-down and reboot is neccessary.
** Affects: xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu)
