[Bug 1318531] Re: [Dell Inspiron 17R 5737] Video looks 1 byte shifted

 

GortiZ, please boot into a Trusty live environment, and execute the following in a terminal:
apport-collect 1318531

** Description changed:

- The video looks like it's shifted by 1byte or so.
- Red looks green, blue looks violet, green looks dark violet. (almost everything looks between green and violet as in the attached snapshot.
- 
- I've tryied to collect the bug data as Christopher M. Penalver (penalvch) suggested me by using the command:
- ubuntu-bug linux
- 
- but it just ends up with a window telling me that I'm not on a mainline
- kernel (as he requested me on bug #1300349) and it closes.
- 
- How should I collect the data for completing this bug?
- (I've manually attached all the files suggested please let me know if something more is needed)
+ The video looks like it's shifted by 1byte or so. Red looks green, blue
+ looks violet, green looks dark violet. (almost everything looks between
