Public bug reported: At some as yet undetermined user input, my screen 'hashes'... individual pixel lines become displaced by a few on a cyclic basis, so that the display becomes illegible. Note that this is an AMD64 machine with Nvidia graphics. I also experienced a problem a few days ago with some windows appearing completely black, but only when 'on top': the problems may be related.
I get internal crashes every few days that ask my permission to send off a bug report. I checked the output of ubuntu-bug linux and it seemed to indicate that I am running Ocelot, while I am in fact running Ringtail. These problems have only appeared with Unity under Ringtail. None occurred with Gnome. Here is the diagnostic output.
