Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xorg
I have several desktop and laptop systems where I tryout and use Ubuntu productively since 5.04. One of those, a IBM ThinkPad iSeries 1400 2611 472 (sorry, long name indeed), I recently upgraded to Gutsy. Its a PII 266MHz 256MB 10GB, pretty old system, yet more than enough for basic desktop applications (OpenOffice, Internet browsing). Up to Feisty, it used to work grate up to 1024x768x24, now, it got king of purple... it resembles an old analog 3d trick of getting a bit of the blue to the left and of the red to the right. Not so different to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/3731 but not the same also. It workd at 1024x768x24 (purple) or 1024x768x16 (ok colors, but something else wrong). When I step down the color depth a bit, it kinds of work propperly, but yet, not. It shows up the screen a little to much to the right (some four or five pixels missing) and, at the same time, to the right of the screen, it repeats the last four or five pixels. Its usable, but wrong. I could capture the screen but since the result is regarding the dispay it self, not the redering of the screen, the final PNG image have not presented the problem It is fully up to date as up to Mon Oct 8 21:28:11 BRT 2007 lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available.
