[Bug 604192] Re: Screen goes blank and flashes vertical stripes on 1s interval

 

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: xorg
  
  After at least 10-30 minutes of usage, the screen will go blank and then
  show a screen where the top half is of perfect vertical white stripes;
  evenly spaced. It will go blank again after a second, and repeat over
  again. Attempting to go to any virtual console (Ctrl+Alt+F5 combo, for
  example) will not work at all. However, when the power button is
  pressed, after a few seconds, it will properly show the Ubuntu boot
  screen (plymouth) as it shuts down and animate properly as well, and
  gracefully shutdown.
  
  The most straightforward method of causing the screen issue is by simply
  going to System > Preferences > Screensaver, and randomly choosing a
  complex screensaver, which it will then reproduce the exact same
  behavior described above.
  
  This error has not existed before at all, it is a regression. The system
  was recently upgraded to 10.04. The bug can also be reproduced easily on
  the 10.04 LiveCD as well. It has not been existent in 9.10 or 9.04 at
  all on the system (especially on the 9.10 or 9.04 LiveCDs as well).
