Weird Distortion Issue

**AdrianStrays** · April 25th, 2008

My issue was never solved in the development forum, so I thought I'd move it over here.

No matter what screen I am on, there is some bizzare lines that appear in random places, usually during some sort of activity, such as typing or watching movies, but not when things are moving. In Gusty I never had this problem, so I don't think its a hardware issue.

HI and could you give us some system specs and the model of the graphics card?

Ubuntu Studio 8.04
AMD Anthon 64 X2 Dual Core TK-53

ATI Raedon Xpress 110

Ok I am assuming that is Xpress 1100 and have you looked at Envy.

No, I haven't. I'm not sure I understand the point of it though. I thought Ubuntu detected and installed restricted drivers, assuming you allow it to?

Well, I went ahead and installed envy. Now movies (avi, wmv, mpg) don't display. I still get the occasional lines here and there, but not nearly as frequent.
