Title:
  When trying to edit my display settings for dual screen (19" and 22"
  widescreen), the field representing my displays in "Display
  Preferences" became filled with black squares, like a chessboard,
  showing only the parts of that display field which were not covered in
  black.

Status in “jockey” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The display field " drag the monitors to set their place" in Display
  Preferences became distorted, like a chessboard overlay: small squares
  all over the previously mentioned field. This happened after trying to
  edit the resolution for one of the monitors. Also, some titles (not
  the title bar, but just chapter titles in e.g. "Install") have several
  characters just blurred, distorted or also "chessboard overlay"
  minimizing/restoring the window did not have any effect.

  The same happens with Kubuntu, however, so aggresive in any
  picture/background tile in such an aggressive way that no text was
  reasable anymore. My computer's architecture: intel E5300, Ati HIS HD
  4770 (512MB), 4GB Ram, (k)ubuntu 9.10 64bit.
