Bug Description
Hello!
I have been using Ubuntu 9.04 since April and I have never had this problem before. Whenever I'm trying to scroll a page in anything, the content is literally moving down in 'frames', just like shots in old films. It's really hard to explain. It moves something like in 'waves'. It's in everything: Evolution, Internet Browsers etc. Whenever I log out and then login again, it stops and soon it starts again.
I tried to access ATI control centre, but it doesn't load. And if I want to change the user, there's a pop-up:
'The graphical interface did not properly start, which is needed for graphical logins. It is likely that the X Window System or GDM is not properly configured. The X server failed to finish starting. 3 X failed'
I think this could have something to do with it. I tried running the command 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg', but instead of giving me a list of drivers to choose from, it offers me to set-up my keyboard.
Is there some sort of command to perhaps scan the system for errors or something?
Please help. This problem is making the computer almost unusable.
Thanks a lot in Advance,
Paul
