black stripes around mouse pointer + monitor out of range
Posted 03-15-2011 at 01:12 AM by sheyer
Hallo,
i have seen that for some years another person has the same question already ask, but does not received any answer.
I have also for some days receive very irritating black vertical lines spaced equally closely surrounding the mouse pointer, which does not disappear. I use the operating system Linux Debian. Under Windows ( i have both operating system on my PC) this problem does not appear.
Some more details about the appearance:
I have first only one monitor connected. Then i add a second one. After changing the settings in xorg.conf to scheme Xinerama and ati-driver fglrx (dual screen support) i have two screens working. After some days stripes around my mouse cursor apperas, which does not disappear. Some days later the whole screens were cover with black stripes.
If i changed back to the old xorg.conf, where i use only one screen (i.e. in the case two screens connected the same image on both screens) then the sripes on desktop background disappeared, but stripes around mouse pointer still exist.
After some trying I could notice, that a re-installation of the xorg related packages (xorg, xorg-display drivers, ...) fixed the problem with the black stripes after reboot for one monitor.
For two monitors i could not find any solution and so i could not get two monitors running under Linux.
Another problem is that during pc shutdown every time only one and the same of my two screens show the message: monitor out of range. This appears, in the case, that both monitors show the same, i.e. not dual screen activated.
my grafic card is: Ati Technologies Inc RV505 (Radeon x1550 Series)
I found it also very irritating, that i get this output:
> aticonfig --initial
> aticonfig: No supported adapters detected
Why can i not use this?
I hope somebody can help me and you have perhaps solve this problem.
Thanks in advance
Stefan

Hallo,
after testing aticonfig more and reinstalling of the fglrx driver version 1:8.12.4 and rebooting now the stripes around the cursor appears every time, not only by two monitors.
After reboot stripes over the whole monitor apperas, which occurs before only, if 2 monitors were connected. Checking the folder etc/X11 shows, that there were two new files created: xorg.conf.fglrx.0 and xorg.conf.original, which does not were there before. After deleting this 2 files, change in xorg.conf the driver to radeonhd, and reboot i have now every time only the stripes around the mouse cursor.
So I think the problem is related to some problems or wrong setting of xorg and/ or the used ati-grafic card. But i does not know how to get deeper in it and solve it.
A newer version of the flgrx-driver i could not install, since for this my xserver-xorg version is too old.
