Jonathan Tigner, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better.
As per http://support.toshiba.ca/support/isg/center/en/index.asp?p =PLL20C-00200C an update to your computer's buggy, insecure, and outdated BIOS is available (2.20). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything? For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. Also, you don't have to create a new bug report. Once the BIOS is updated, if the problem is still reproducible: 1) Please provide the output of the following terminal command (not perform an apport-collect): sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date 2) Please make a comment specifically advising on if there was an improvement or not. 3) Please mark this report Status Confirmed. If it's not reproducible, please mark this as Invalid. Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: bios-outdated-2.2 ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1556362 Title: Graphic display problem Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I would like to report a problem with my video driver. While using both LibreOffice Writer and Firefox, Ihave had occasions when the screen went wonky with horizontal lines running across such that the screen was not readable. The problem seems to correct itself if I switch programs using the Launcher and then return to the problem application. I am running 32 bit Ubuntu15.10 on a Toshiba NB200 with a Intel® Atom™ CPU N280 @ 1.66GHz × 2 processer,, 2 gig of RAM and Intel® 945GME x86/MMX/SSE2 graphics. Thanks.
