Graphics driver's problem

[Hangyu Zhang]

Hi,

it's hard for me to describe the problem. If I use any visual effects, then I can read nothing in the monitor. The screen is full of small colorful vertical line.

If I choose "no visual effect", it seems all right. But if I drag and drop any window, I can also see the small colorful vertical line on the window's edge.

I think it's a driver problem, because that I have no problem on another two computer with the same ubuntu version.

Thanks.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please execute the following command, as it will automatically gather debugging information, in a terminal:

apport-collect 603272

This will help us to find and resolve the problem. Bear in mind that you may need to install the python-launchpadlib package from the universe repository. Additionally, when prompted to give apport-collect permissions for Launchpad you will need to give it at least the ability to "Change Non-Private" data as it will be adding information to your bug report. Thanks in advance!

When reporting bugs in the future please use apport, either via the appropriate application's "Help -> Report a Problem" menu or using 'ubuntu-bug' and the name of the package affected. You can learn more about this functionality at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReportingBugs.
