I just installed kubuntu 8.04.1 Live CD on a Dell Inspiron 8000 and I had the same problem. The graphics card is ATI 128 Rage Mobility. But I found a solution!
When I tried changing the refresh rate via System Settings -> Monitor & Display, I only had 800x600 and 640x480 as possible screen resolutions. So I went into the Hardware tab and changed the Monitor #1: to "LCD Panel 1400x1050" (by the way, this was a pain in the butt because of the screen issues!). Anyway, it displayed a warning that this combination hadn't been tried on this hardware. I said do it anyway (hit the OK button). It then told me to log out and restart the X Server, which I did. It booted up again in 800x600 resolution with the same problem. But, when I changed the screen resolution to native (1400x1050), it fixed the problem! No more crazy three column overlapping mess. I am new to Linux and ubuntu/kubuntu, but if you'd like me to post any files, just let me know. -- Dell Inspiron 8000 Hardware graphics adapter support ATI Mobility M4 Display corruption rendering fault-Split display https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/247771 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
