Random "Tv like-Static Screen" on Dell LCD

[Eddieduce]

For a reason, which I have not been able to replicate, when I log off of my Ubuntu 6.06 admin account, to log in to the limited account (which I have only limited through the Alacarte Menu Editor and user settings) ocassionally the screen gives me diagonal lines mostly white, light grey & green- somewhat like a static screen on a TV. There is no way to make this go away exept with a restart.

  I am using a Gateway E-1400 with a Celeron processor & a Dell LCD. The display adapter is an Intel 82810-EC100.

  Every setting works just fine after Ubuntu installation exept for this issue.

Could you please confirm that the display is configured to work at the manufacturer recommended resolution and horizontal and vertical refresh rates? You can check your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to check this, or you can use the System->Preferences->Screen resolution menu option from the GNOME panel.

Thanks in advance.

I have a 1280x1024 resolution and Refresh Rate of 75 Hz. I had tested
the Edubuntu package files which, I think, are unrelated to the issue
and I no longer get that screen display malfunction.

It seems like it had changed all settings to behave as the Edubuntu
version from boot up to shut down. I have now uninstalled the package
and reverted to Ubuntu and everything works fine other than the Edubuntu
logo showing up on startup.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Thanks in advance.

The issue that you reported is one that should be reproducable with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release - Gutsy Gibbon. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the actively developed release. You can find out more about the development release at [WWW] http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/
