[Colin Ian King]

I was following the ISO testing install test case http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/226/builds/19358/testcases/1300/results on an Intel i915 based UEFI and I got a corrupted display on the installer. See attached image.

Colin King, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p xorg <replace-with-bug-number>

Thank you for your understanding.
