I'm sorry maybe i used the wrong words. With hardware-independency I mean that the occurence of the bug does not depend on the particular hardware a machine is mounting (e.g. ati or intel video card). I said that this problem is somewhat hardware-independent because this bug occurred on two very different machines (a desktop with ati video card, and a laptop with intel video card,...).

I was trying to find post on the net describing a bug similar to the one I reported here. This thread http:// ubuntuforums. org/showthread. php?p=10971723# post10971723 on UbuntuForums seems to be somehow related to this issue.
