    Weird Distortion Issue

    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.

    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.

    Scratch that, the lines are back and bad... Great, now I'm worse off than I was before.
