Corrupt screen in lower right corner

[gpk]

Binary package hint: xorg

It's about 100x100 pixels or so. Black, with stuff that looks vaguely like distorted lines of text, maybe.
Oddly enough, it doesn't show up on a screen capture.

Here's the photo from a camera. This was taken at the same time as the screenshot above.

could this be related to bug #737706 ?

There are some similarities, but the symptoms are not identical.
It always occurs (occurred?) in the bottom right corner, independent of
where you might have had flash running.
Possibly, it is triggered by the use of flash; I don't always see it.
To be honest, I haven't seen it in the last week or two.

Hey gpk,

Hi, have you had a chance to test if this bug is still present in natty?

If it does (and if you're the original reporter), please boot into natty
and run the command:

  apport-collect <bug-number>

which will update the bug with fresh logs and tag the bug as affecting
natty. (It is best to run this right after reproducing the problem.)

We're closing this bug since it is has been some time with no response from the original reporter. However, if the issue still exists please feel free to reopen with the requested information. Also, if you could, please test against the latest development version of Ubuntu, since this confirms the bug is one we may be able to pass upstream for help.
