I confirm this problem also on a Motion LE1600 tablet computer after installing Ubuntu 8.10 (and the screen was find) and then installing all the many (128?) updates (and the screen was corrupted in exactly the way described, with right half really trashed).
Tried pinning the older version via /etc/apt/preferences without success (apt-get install complains that xserver is a virtual package and that there's no candidate package...), so then I used Synaptic to downgrade to previous version of xserver-xorg-video-intel and it seems to have solved it, though it's unclear if Ubuntu will continually want to upgrade it again or not. If anyone can describe a good/standard/correct way to downgrade this package and keep it from updating to the later version that breaks Motion PCs, please do. I never would have figured out what was going on if not for finding this bug report, so many thanks to the original bug reporter paledread. -- [i855] ghosting and rubbish on screen following upgrade https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/324142 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
