Graphical lines in buttons on panels

atredes · 10-18-2006, 02:44 AM

I just installed Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper on my SONY VAIO laptop as the sole operating platform. Everything works fine. Whenever I am in any panels, newtork, screensaver, and such, the buttons have little blue dots in them that disappear when i run my cursor over them. Why?

It is recognizing my graphic card.

It does this in other resolutions.

I have a ATI Radeon IGP 330M/340M/350M Graphic card.

I can't change the refresh rate whuch is set at 60 Mhz.

Please advise!!!

Try using the radeon driver instead of ati for the X server. To do this, type gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and do a search for the following line: Driver "ati". Change it to Driver "radeon" and reboot.

In the last couple of days of using LINUX, this issue that I have posted seems to have resolved itself. Thanks to all who helped and replied.
