Bug Description
Binary package hint: xorg
System works normally for a period of time, then some trigger (haven't determined what) causes the screen to start flashing with vertical white bars in the upper right hand corner. I can't switch virtual terminals or interact with the system at all except by pressing the power button. A short press causes the system to power down normally with the monitor properly displaying the Ubuntu shutdown screen.
I didn't have this problem until I upgraded to Lynx. I have tried a fresh install and saw no improvement.
Any help?
