I am also affected by this bug, using gnome-system-monitor 3.2.1-0ubuntu1, with ATi Radeon HD 3450, fglrx and my CRT monitor connected via DVI-VGA adapter to DVI output.
I don't know if gnome-system-monitor is the one to blame (could this be due to some kind of color profile or subpixel hinting feature?), but someone with more knowledge about this should really look into this. ** Attachment added: "Screenshot of Resources tab" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-system-monitor/+bug/881172/+attachment/2613632/+files/gnome-system-monitor.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-system-monitor in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/881172 Title: Graphical errors on charts in resources tab (faded bands) Status in “gnome-system-monitor” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: On my system, the charts on the system monitor resources tab are displayed with some graphical errors. The most obvious manifestation seems to be faded bands along the charted lines, though there is also extra white around the chart area (rather than the grey of the window background). The chart labels also end up quite blurry and hard to read. Sometimes the pink line for memory usage seems to hover horizontally right in one of the faded areas, and becomes nearly invisible. Bizarrely, the problem is sometimes only present on one of my monitors. The screenshot I have attached was taken straddling the two monitors; the zone on the left appears normal, while the zone on the right is noticeably affected. Dragging the system monitor between the two monitors causes the issue to appear and disappear. However, other times there is no difference and the system monitor is affected equally no matter which monitor it is on.
