Hi kko, thanks for replying so quickly, I just installed feisty's new kernel packages (2.6.20-13->2.6.20-14 before reading your response, so I restarted and the problem was gone. Hmm... I will keep the hints in mind if this happens again and respond back here. Thanks again -- X completely corr

I'll see if my advice can be of any use. >From the bug report you referenced it seems that disabling splash from kernel boot options (in grub) has helped the reporters. You could try the same to see if your screen corruption is also caused by the splash, in which case it's probably useful to conti

Hi, I have an ATI Radeon 7200, using the open source drivers. If I change to virtual console 1 (ctrl + alt +f1) or any of the others, I get very strange things going on. Text in the wrong places, the blinking cursor not in the correct position, strange colors, etc. All my virtual consoles are c

The activity log doesn't show who added the task for "...-ati" to this bug. Anyone able to share some light on that, and if the bug is fixed also for ati? (There are probably other reports originally reported against ati, too.) -- X completely corrupts VesaFB Virtual Terminals' image https://lau

Umm, no. Haven't tested on Feisty. What my last two comments mean, on Dapper, is this: - First, with boot parameters amounting to "vga=normal" ("no special vga options", i.e. vesafb not used), this problem isn't actual and can't be tested. - Second, after I passed "vga=791" to the kernel at boot

Thank you for the information. I must say that I am now comfortably running an install of Kubuntu Dapper (apparently with no special vga options for grub), and so am unlikely to at this point take the trouble of fixing something that isn't broken. I will report back, however, if I decide to e.g.
