Bug Description

When I move mouse in the login screen, I may see some kind of screenshot, maybe something remaining in the video memory.

"lspci -v" gives this output of video controller:

This is most probably a bug in the graphics driver, since it doesn't generally happen for other drivers.

Well, I am running Xubuntu 6.06.1 and I am not ready to upgrade to 6.10; maybe it is better to wait for Feisty... I have not encountered the bug lately, since I usually just shut down. I think I'll try log out and report, if the problem still exists.
