Public bug reported: Invoking Dash initially totally corrupts the display, which then settles down, sometimes to a partially coherent Dash panel, sometimes to just a prompt with scattered pixels everywhere, sometimes nearly complete coherence. During this process, the graphics card apparently tries to re-synch several times. After Dash exits or is terminated with <Ctrl>F4, everything is OK again.
Graphcis card is ASUS EN6200TC256/TD/64M GeForce 6200 TC 256MB(64MB on Board) 64-bit DDR PCII Express x16, a re-branded NVIDIA GeForce 6200. I use the D-Sub output through a Linksys KVM switch to a NEC MultiSync 90GX2 display.
