Title:
Non-proprietary (Ubuntu's default) video driver eventually switches
monitor to a fuzzy mode (ATI/AMD video hardware)
Status in fglrx-installer package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Using Ubuntu 10.04 --- in ISO Testing.
I did NOT install any proprietary hardware drivers.... so...
The Non-proprietary (Ubuntu's default) video driver eventually
switches monitor to a fuzzy mode.
I have ATI/AMD video hardware (on a Gateway AMD 64 Phenom 9150e Quad-
Core machine).
After using the computer for a while... ( maybe an hour or so....? )
the monitor "goes to "sleep" for about ONE second, then, it wakes
up.... and all the fonts are "blurry"...
It's as if the monitor has switched into a "analog mode"...? ( I am
only guessing here. )
As if the PC / OS has told the monitor to switch modes...? ( Again,
only guessing here. )
Rebooting doesn't even seem to fix it.
I think perhaps power-cycling the monitor AND rebooting the PC...
fixes it.
I'll try this a update in the comments here.
Very strange tho.
