Title:
Screen Display goes haywire
Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
I upgraded to ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr a couple of days ago. There
were a few errors/bugs which I automatically reported but I ended up
with a usable OS and mostly everything worked fine. Suddenly the
display on monitors turned haywire. I have a 2 monitors set up and
both monitors started displaying random gray stripes on top of the
actual applications that were open on the screens. Both the screens
were covered in these gray stripes which were moving around randomly
as well.
I don't know what package or software/application is responsible for
the behavior. It was the first time it happened on ubuntu (14.04, I
had been been using ubuntu 12.04 for almost 2 years prior with same
hardware) but I have seen this happen on Fedora 20 with a 2 monitor
setup multiple times.
I have a camera photo of what the screens looked like but the
"printscreen" option on the keyboard failed to save the data on the
screens.
Let me know if any further information is desired.
