Nah, on mine it's nvidia, and it happens whether I use the nvidia proprietary stuff, or the nv kernel/xorg stuff. I also had it happen with an ATI card under MacOSX on the same monitor. It only happens on this LCD panel that I have (none of the others), and it's not particular to the video card, or the OS that I'm running. Just the monitor sucks :) -- "splash" causes fade-to-white on Toshiba Satellite M40X (ATI Radeon Mobility X600) https://launchpad.net/bugs/51402 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
