Comment 10 for bug 576808

I am not bugfixer, just the reporter of the but that hit me. But try two
things: 1) Try changing the video cable to another plug on the video card;
that one ditd the trick for me, or, 2) try the "Eureka" fix reported on the
UbuntuForum (scroll down almost to bottom of this message). Good uck.
