[Bug 741668] [NEW] screen flashes continously alternating background and borderless windows

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

I tried out the daily build of ubuntu natty and after a minute of
surfing in the net the screen got corrupted (all covered in jagged
lines) and then showed the background image and windows flashing up
without borders continously alternating. I switched to console mode
(CTRL+Alt + F2) and filed this bug report. I will try to attach pics of
it later.

1) Description:	Ubuntu Natty (development branch)
Release:	11.04

2)apt-cache policy xorg
xorg:
  Installiert: 1:7.6~3ubuntu11
  Kandidat:    1:7.6~3ubuntu11

3) working desktop environment

4) flashing screen without reaction to anything but changing to console
mode (CTRL+ALT+F2)
