Hi all,

I'm testing a new PC and for business reasons it has to be able to run with Ubuntu 8.04 .

The first problem I had was with the Intel GMA 4500 graphics driver. I have managed to resolve that and can now get resolutions > 800x600. However since then the mouse pointer is intermittently corrupt.

I've attached an image showing the corrupt pointer which is about the size of a thumbnail.

The driver I have installed is xserver-xorg-video-intel_2.4.0~melchiorre-5_i386.deb .

I've also attached a copy of my xorg.conf file.

While I've been writing this post I've noticed that if I take a screenshot or if I connect to the PC using VNC the entire screen is corrupt.

Any thoughts would be gratefully received.

There's not a lot going on in your xorg.conf.
There is a lot of Intel driver support for graphics cards.
So start with two simple things.
1) try running without an xorg.conf. This will force xorg to work out the settings for it's self.
Does it work without corrupting?
2) Let xorg do all the work for you. Xorg -configure will write you a new xorg.conf.
You will need to stop the gdm with sudo stop gdm. Copy your new /root/xorg.conf.new to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and sudo start gdm.

A note on the next step.
If every thing works properly to get the resolutions you want you will probably need to create modelines that match the monitor capabilities.

Give that a go.
