Public bug reported:

Hi all, I'm sorry I can't be more specific than this, my laptop is a HP
Compaq nc6320 and every now and again I seem to get a crash. I have
managed to take a picture of the screen with my phone to show what this
looks like. My sound suddenly starts going mad and the screen has lines
that jump everywhere.

I cannot identify what triggers it off as sometimes I am in a browser,
other times I am in a picture viewer. I am using Ubuntu 8.10. This has
actually been a problem back in Hardy as well, though I can't remember
if I had it in Gutsy and before.

I have even tried Linux Mint (latest version) and the bug exists in that
too. The easiest way to reproduce it, would be to open a picture, any
picture, in the gnome picture viewer (don't get any ideas, this program
doesn't cause it as it happens in others too, and it's not always when i
use the scroll wheel, but this is the easiest way I have found to
reproduce the bug) and use the scroll wheel to zoom in really far, to
say, 800%, then zoom out again, and keep zooming in and out until it
crashes.

I have attached a video of what the crash screen looks like because it
is hard to explain. Excuse the quality, I used my phone as a video
camera.

>From lspci I get;
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 
943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML 
Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)

It's really annoying and really strange. I'm posting this from a
PCLinuxOS Live CD at the minute, because my Ubuntu just keeps getting
worse and worse for some reason.

If any other info can be used, please let me know and I will do my best
to get it.

Thanks

Craig
