After much annoyance and updating packages relating to video drivers, drm etc, to no avail, it tuns out the problem goes away if I disable desktop compositing in xfce window manager settings.....
...

I think I can safely say this is a software and/or driver bug.

I booted the latest Ubuntu 21.04 Daily Live DVD and there is no issue at all. I get full resolution with no display corruption and...

I almost got my hopes up there - I found a modeline in Windows, which turned out different from the one generated in cvt, but upon trying it out, I get the same issue.


Modeline from cvt:...

I have experimented some more and I found some things but no solution yet.

I tried generating a new modeline with cvt and adding with xrandr in case somehow it was generating an incorrect one, but...

I tried both monitors using the same HDMI cable in the same port on the graphics card.

But the monitor that doesn't work properly is using an HDMI-DVI adapter, as it does not have an HDMI input.

A brand new Silverstone Strider Gold ST75F-GS (750 Watt) so no problem there. Also I forgot to mention, but the card does work in Windows 7, which I also have installed.

In fact, it's looking like...

Here is the output:
I am at the desktop but with nomodeset enabled.

I tried installing the 5.8 kernel through the HWE package.

Now I can login without freezing, but the display is corrupted, chopped up into strips, and skewed, like shredded paper, horizontally. I...

I have an installation of Ubuntu Studio 20.04 that has seen graphics cards upgrades from Radeon HD5770, then R9 270X, then RX570 (all without issue) until now.

I just swapped my RX570 for an RX...

Bump. Anyone have any ideas before I just give up and reinstall?

I installed Xubuntu 16.04 and installed the latest (at the time) kernel 4.9.11, along with adding the Padoka PPA, blacklisting the radeon module in grub, and was happily running along on my R9 270x....

Yeah, it has the 4GB drive but I use this trick: http://askubuntu.com/questions/395932/can-i-install-ubuntu-in-a-3-5-gb-mini-pc

Well, now I just feel silly. I could have sworn I tried the forcepae option on a live CD and had it fail. But I tried just now and it worked fine... so I guess I'll just use plain Lubuntu with that...

I just found this thread and it sounds like the perfect thing to get Lubuntu 14.04 on my EeePC 701 - which is still runnning 11.04!

But I am confused over what I should use. As per the last entry...

Hope it comes back soon!

I have not yet noticed the problem with either Xubuntu or Lubuntu.

Thanks for your help, I found it in "Settings -> Window Manager -> Keyboard"

Must have skimmed right over it the first 10 times I looked there!

I've changed it to Super+d now, like in...

I want to change the "show desktop" shortcut from Ctrl+Alt+D to something else.

Sorry, I should have been more clear.

Can you tell me how to change that shortcut?

I also now have an iPod Nano v6 (with firmware v1.2), due to the replacement\recall program.

I'm trying to get a dialup modem working in Ubuntu. Currently trying in 10.10 but have tried in 11.04 as well, and the problem is the same.

Very well said!

Reminds me strongly of OSX and it certainly rips a few things off from there too..


One of the worst...
