dapper with NVIDIA nForce 590 SLI MCP (Asus M2N32 WS Professional)

[Kevin Starkey]

Hi all,

I've had Ubuntu (Dapper) on my Dell Inspiron 2650 laptop for about a 
month now (I love it!!! and no more windows) and a couple of days ago 
the right side of my screen (about 2 inches wide) turned all white. When 
I move the mouse over there, it disappears. Move it back, it reappears. 
A few hours later it was back to normal. I just noticed it happening 
again a few minutes ago. This time it only lasted a couple of minutes.

Does anyone have any idea if this could be related to Ubuntu, or is it 
my screen going bad (the laptop's only a few years old)? Any ideas how 
to figure out what could be wrong?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Warm regards, Kevin.
