Bug Description
Just upgraded from Kubuntu Hardy 64bit to Kubuntu Intrepid 64bit last night. System starts up ok and I can login to KDM. But certian colors cause a "snow" or "fuzzy" look about them. Screen shots don't have it. I did not have this issue with Hardy or with XP on the same system.
I'm assuming this is a display driver/module problem. I see this on the background, in Firefox, in Dolphin.

Same problem here (no problem with Hardy). In addition: if you move a window around your desktop, then there are small flickering horizontal lines (about 3 cm long) appearing at the left edge of the monitor.
I suppose that this is some problem with the new xserver/driver?
If someone needs more info, i will be glad to provide it.
