[Bug 351998] [NEW] LCD screen getting gradually white

 

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I use Kubuntu 9.04 beta on an AMD64. My video card is presented by lspci
as follows:

01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon XPRESS
200M 5955 (PCIE)

My computer is a Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo 1950G laptop.

Recently, I had KDE desktop effects enabled and started OpenOffice. At
the time where the main window was expected to show up, the system froze
and the LCD screen of my laptop started to gradually get more and more
white. When it was almost totally white (or, more exactly, light grey),
the contents of the screen started to gradually show up again but in
wrong colors. To me, it didn‘t look as if the contents of the video
memory were changed. Instead, it looked to me as if the LCD display was
driven in a fundamentally wrong way. Maybe the LCD elements getting much
too high voltages or whatever. I don‘t know. I actually don‘t really
know how an LCD works. ;-)
