Bug Description
Binary package hint: xserver-
since i upgraded to ubuntu 8.10 my entire display shows just one color (under gdm and under x). i asume it is the color value of a certain pixel because when i move the mouse in a certain spot it will switch color from black to white to brown. aside from the display problem everything else is working fine. i can login, i can start applications (using the alt+f2 tool), i can switch to the virtual console and see the applications i started using ps. i made a screenshot using scrot, the image is showing a normal desktop with a resolution of 1024x768 (monitor should show 1600x1200).
using ubuntu 8.10 and xserver-

Thank you for reporting this bug. That was certainly an interesting behaviour. Could you attach the output of `lspci -vvnn` as well? Does anything change if you move /etc/X11/xorg.conf to a different name and restart? (so that there is no xorg.conf when you start up, there will be a new minimal one created.)
Also, what is your monitor setup? Is this a laptop? Is there an external monitor connected using DVI? If this is not a laptop, you can try the Ignore LVDS Quirk on https:/ /wiki.ubuntu. com/X/Quirks# Ignore% 20LVDS% 20Output% 20Quirk .
