Since a couple of days I am having a strange problem with my Ubuntu installation (Lynx 10.04)
After the startup phase, the right half of the screen turns black (see pict) and the keyboard starts responding very, very slowly.
So slow you cannot practically type your passwd in.
You can also notice a pixelated copy of the cursor into the black half.
I have tried without success some solution proposed into this thread (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1542082)
Can somebody help me debugging the problem ( or suggest a solution)
The PC is an Athlon 64 with ATI x300 on board, MESA driver is used for the videocard (ATI Catalyst compatible with Lucid does not support the card anylonger !)
The problem seems really related to the user selection panel, indeed if I get in via one of the user that does not require passwd, I pass the login screen and everything works fine as long as I do not try to switch user.
Note that booting with Ubuntu 9.04 (I have a triple boot installation), all works fine .
