Hi, recently I upgraded packages including some graphic card drivers for the X.org server and VirtualBox to version 3.0.2.
I use virtualbox-3.0 from:
deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian jaunty non-free
After the upgrade (restart including) I see a weird graphics glitch. Whenever I run VirtualBox in GNOME and switch to its window, the screen goes to inverted colors and looks all broken (not like when you enable negative in GNOME mind you, white is black, but otherwise it all looks really broken). What's strange is that when I switch back to another window, the colors go back to normal.
I tried recompiling the kernel modules for VirtualBox and reinstalling the whole package, but nothing has helped. I cannot take a screenshot, as the save screenshot utility seems to see everything alright. I also tried installing a new version of guest tools for my virtual Windows XP. Didn't help either.
No idea what else I could do, anyone ever had a similar problem? Help, please. I am desperate.
