[Bug 385551] Re: Jaunty -- Intel 82945G/GZ -- Screen full of vertical lines, cannot logon

[Geir Ove Myhr]

You may also want to try the updated x-drivers from https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates/ . It might just solve the problem. Sometimes, setting 
  AccelMethod "uxa"
in the "Device" section of xorg.conf also helps.

** Summary changed:

- Jaunty -- Intel 82945G/GZ -- Screen full of vertical lines, cannot logon
+ [i945g] Jaunty -- Intel 82945G/GZ -- Screen full of vertical lines, cannot logon

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel
  
  This is my parents computer that they have 2000 miles away from me. THey
  were on Hardy and everything worked. I upgraded them to Intrepid and
  rebooted, then upgraded to Jaunty. After that, they report that their
  screen is full of vertical lines and they cannot work.
  
  This seems to be an Intel driver issue:

  00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
  00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
  
  This is a high priority issue to me, as I am deeply embarrassed by such
  poor performance on what seems to be a very mainstream PC (3 year old
  Dell). So if you have any downgrade suggestion for the meantime, let me
  know, I feel very badly about this.
  
  I am now going to attach a few things.
