I have to mention I got (just) once stripped lines displayed + no more menu text after having dragged and dropped a video file on the Play icon for starting Gnome Player. All OK after reboot on the very same personal save file. I could not reproduce this; I then checked the good monitors video and power chords connections (disconnect then reconnect to "clean" contact pins ... sometimes electrical contacts got oxyded)...to be sure. Since then no new problem in a regular daily use ... I promise writing down a post if one would ever arise .
@ MHHP:
I feel you were walking the same path I ran two months ago ( might be then under 312.37 )...
Have a look on cccc's and Ignotum's posts here
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions ... page3.html
I've read you have spent ( a lot of ) time on this issue.
Maybe have you already tried to add the
disable-composite.conf
and
i845G.conf ( ! looking inside: this script is dedicated to rev01 - should be adapted to rev03 ! )
files in
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d
then reboot.
These are the files recommended in the links you mentionned in one of your later Brookdale's posts;
These are also contained in the slacko archive - 01micko has put them somewhere in it - Pfind should find them;
see also this link :

Brookdale's rev here is rev01 whereas yours is 03 ... would that make any difference...?
Hope this helps
Cheers ! Charlie
