Title:
Black lines, no mouse pointer and a part of the screen in black on
Lubuntu 13.04 & 12.10
Status in “xserver-xorg-video-savage” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I just installed Ubuntu 13.04 through the Alternate CD. The installation
finished without no problems nor warnings.
The problem is that the login screen (lightdm) is showing horizontal black
lines and also shows a huge amount of the screen colored with black and
sometimes with lime green, the mouse pointer is not visible and when it's moved
more lines appear on the screen.
When plymouth animation is running the screen resolution is set to
1024x768 and there's no problems, but when the login screen appears
the resolution changes to 1280x960. And is impossible to login through
lightdm. I've set the auto-login via tty and restarted, but the black
lines, the black colored part of the screen and the mouse pointer
issue remain. Also, when I'm logged in I tried to change the
resolution to 1024x768 via xrandr on a terminal emulator, the
resolution changes but the problems persist.
Because of this issues the desktop is totally unusable. 2 years ago I
installed Lubuntu 11.04 on the same computer and it weren't no
problems with it.

Intel Pentium 4 1.6 GHz Processor
