[Bug 573682] Re: Ubuntu 10.04 Live-CD: desktop has vertical streaks; pointer corrupted

 

Interestingly, this problem does not occur on my Dell D800 in VBox 3.1.8
r61349 w/Guest Additions when I boot from the Ubuntu 10.04 .iso image.
It also occurs on my obsolescent AMD Thunderbird 1.4 Ghz with the NVIDIA
FX 5200 video card when I boot from the Live-CD. The one thing these two
systems have in common is that they both use (different) old NVIDIA
video cards. My Dell D800 uses the NVIDIA GeForce4 4200 Go (32 MB) video
card.

This is a regression since neither machine had this issue until Lucid.

Again, however this is with the Live-CD, not installed to hard drive.
Needless to say, you can't activate the restricted driver on the Live-CD
since it requires a system restart which wipes out the downloaded
driver.
