Public bug reported: I have a HP G62 laptop with Raring Final Beta installed. This is my hardware: http://wiki.ubuntu-it.org/CarlaSella/HP%20G62%20Notebook%20PC
When I try to change my screen resolution from 1366x768 to 1024x768 or 800x600 I get a messed up desktop and cannot read what's on it, have to wait for the resolution to automatically go back to 1366x768. I am attaching a screenshot of my desktop.
