Hi,
I´ve got a nice little Dell subnotebook (Latitude C400 if anybody wants to know) that I got via ebay, little used. Right now, it´s running Kubuntu Dapper and so far everything seems fine, except one problem I had from the start - for the first time, there was Ubuntu Breezy, then Xubuntu Dapper, so it doesn´t have to do with KDE: There seems to be a hardware support problem with the screen: When booting up and shutting down, it just goes haywire, showing weird striped and mashed-up screens, alternating with a perfectly normal boot/ shutdown splash. Since it only does that before displaying the logon window and when shutting down and it doesn´t impede the function, I´m not worried, but anyway.
I've got an Intel i810 graphics card, the "VGA compatible controller" and "Display controller" are both intel 82830 CGC.
Since the problem is not persistent, I guess it´s not something in the xorg.conf - any ideas? Might there be a specific hardware problem with the model I have?
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Regards,
