Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati

Since this occurs on my parents' laptop, I cannot run commands from
here. I'll try to do that later.

This happens on a vostro 1000 with ati radeon xpress 200M integrated
graphics. I removed proprietary fglrx driver following instruction on
Ubuntu community pages. Doing this, made bug #498586 dissappear, but
another one appear.

1) The release of Ubuntu you are using
Ubuntu 10.10 86_64

2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy packagename' or by checking in Synaptic.
most recent

3) What you expected to happen
normal boot

4) What happened instead
when the system starts, a blinking cursor appears after which the login screen should appear. Instead, vertical color pixel lines appear all over the screen. This also happens while changing user in a running system.

5) Temporary 'workaround'
Closing the lid of the laptop and re-opening it makes the lines dissappear and login screen shows up. This doesn't work when changing user in a running system, forced shut-down and reboot is neccessary.
