This was with 11.10 or 12.04 right? Anyway, the bug had to do with a graphics card that I had installed that was unknowingly incompatible with xorg (to my best understanding). I don't even remember what graphics card it was anymore. I have since got a raedon HD card that has eradicated the issue.
Hope this helps close the case. Alex On 01/04/2014 10:58 AM, Christopher M. Penalver wrote: > Alexander T.

Its very difficult to read what I am typing. Its been happening quite often and I can only fix it by restarting the computer, but its only a matter of time before it happens again. Don't know what else to do, its been a thorn in my side for quite some time now and I need a fix. I attached a picture of the glitch in progress. I don't quite know how to repeat the bug yet, but I am willing to help anyway I can. This is my `lspci` if it helps. http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1391104/ Thank You!
