[Bug 1234416] [NEW] Invoking dash corrupts the display; graphics card has very apparent problems with synch

[James K Beard]

Public bug reported:

Invoking Dash initially totally corrupts the display, which then settles
down, sometimes to a partially coherent Dash panel, sometimes to just a
prompt with scattered pixels everywhere, sometimes nearly complete
coherence.  During this process, the graphics card apparently tries to
re-synch several times.  After Dash exits or is terminated with
<Ctrl>F4, everything is OK again.

Graphcis card is ASUS EN6200TC256/TD/64M GeForce 6200 TC 256MB(64MB on
Board) 64-bit DDR PCII Express x16, a re-branded NVIDIA GeForce 6200.  I
use the D-Sub output through a Linksys KVM switch to a NEC MultiSync
90GX2 display.
