[Bug 373757] Re: [i815] graphics corruption while moving mouse / opening menus

[SolidState2008]

The apport was hard to do. As I stated earlier, my terminal screen was
totally blank (nothing to read). I've tried to type in the command on
good luck. Nothing happened.

Next, I started Ubuntu in recovery mode. Then at the prompt (with
network) I typed the command again. It mentioned that a python-launchpad
package was missing. So I added that (after googling how....).

Then I typed the apport command again and got some screen to type in the
email and password. But that didn't work in textmode.

So I tried again with normal boot from a gui. I opened the terminal and
I typed totally blind (nothing to read) the command. Now there was a
webbrowser where I could add my email and password.

But then again, there was information about "Almost finished". I needed
to go back to the application window in which I started the process and
inform it that you have done your part of the process. After googling
around I tried to hit the enter-key in the terminal screen (as I still
couldn't read anything).

For still being a no-no in Linux I got two suggestions:
1. Describe a nice how-to about apport and what you can see on the screen and the dependencies in software and how to get it.
2. Try to make the command completely, so that no other activities need to be done in other screens, as users with problems like me can not always read screens....

Thanks for reading and thanks for all the effort you all did with this
bug.

Much appreciated!
