monitor is distorted in places (and drop-down menus too)
1 Attachment(s)
On certain sites my monitor is distorted in places. (see screenshot). Now in that example, when I hover over those buttons that are distorted they clear up.
And sometimes when I get drop-down menus. Several of the items will be distorted (often with horizontal lines), often to the point of being un-readable. But again when I hover over the entry it clears up. And everything is perfectly functional. So this is no big deal but it is an annoyance. Also when I first turn on the computer it has a 3" or so vertical line runnning down it that is black. This all started happening when I upgraded to 15.04 Vivid (Xubuntu). Any ideas? Thanks. |
Any error messages in your logs? Cable firmly attached? Can you try another monitor? Reseat the graphics card if possible.

Hi...
In case it might help, can you give us the output for... Code:
lspci -nnk | grep VGA -A 12 Regards... |

By burning a CD/DVD of the new version and wiping the hard drive and installing from the CD. However, unless you back up everything you want or need, you will lose everything and any settings, configurations, custom installed drivers, etc., will have to be recreated/reinstalled. So this may not be a direction you want to go. ;) Intel graphics chips are usually onboard so there is no reseating required. It would be helpful if this can be duplicated on another monitor, if at all possible. What is your brand and model (and model number) of your system exactly, or is this a whitebox? Also, do you see this problem of you run 15.04 live (by burning a copy to CD/DVD? I'm inclined to think this is a driver issue or bug. Regards... |
