Comment 3 for bug 882893

This could be an issue with the Intel 82865G integrated graphics driver.

I have tried the older Intel 2.4 Driver.

RevertingIntelDriverTo2.4
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReinhardTartler/X/RevertingIntelDriverTo2.4

( Does NOT work, missing details and valid PPA sources .. )

Instead I used:

Downgraded versions of X.org drivers, libraries, etc. for Ubuntu.

Click on: 'View package details'

Click on: 'xserver-xorg-video-intel-2.4 - 2:2.4.1-1ubuntu11~ppa1' (near bottom)

Download:
https://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-retro/+files/xserver-xorg-video-intel-2.4_2.4.1-1ubuntu11%7Eppa1_i386.deb

Then installed using:

   Ctrl-Alt-F1, for text login

  cd Downloads/ (location of .deb file)

  sudo dpkg -i xserver-xorg-video-intel-2.4_2.4.1-1ubuntu11~ppa1_i386.deb
  (enter password)

  sudo apt-get -f install

(re-start PC)

THIS DID NOT APPEAR TO FIX PROBLEM.
