[ubuntu] Screen problem

http://ubuntuforums.org – Hello. I recently updated my operating system, & now I'm having an issue with the display. I have a Dell Inspiron Mini. I'm not very technically inclined, so basic instruction would be appreciated. It boots up all right, but it seems like the display has been shifted up half a screen; that is, I can see the bottom half of the desktop in the top half of the screen while the bottom half of the screen is blank. The computer still responds to input, but you can't see any of the toolbars. Right clicking on the screen results in a window opening, but I can only see the bottom half of it &a (Hardware)

Hi Guys!

I Have a little Asus T91MT running Ubuntu 12.04 and it has a screen error that makes the screen half itself but when i log out it is all normal and fine the whole screen is being used but when i log in it freezes the bottom half and the top half is trying to fit the whole screen into it but is very pixely if you know what i mean and just very hard to use.

Its simulation on emulator did not satisfy me.

when installing ubuntu 12.04 from a usb-stick, as soon as installer runs, an error message appears and i can only see the upper half of the screen.

Hello,I installed Arch Linux 2012.11.01 a few days ago and have been struggling with an annoying display problem.I installed and configured X exactly as described in the Beginners' Guide, ran xstart manually to confirm that it was working, and then set up a basic desktop of Slim, Openbox, Conky and Chromium.Everything worked fine initially but after a while the bottom half of the screen went

I'm having an odd problem with my Note 8.0 which is quite disappointing. Basically the bottom half of the screen keeps jamming up. It'll work fine for a few minutes, then it'll flicker and then it'll just show lines. Let it sleep for 20 minutes and it'll work again for 5-10 minutes. The device is rooted, but this started occuring only today, well after I rooted it.

right, i managed to get 11.04 into a usable condition on my netbook, usable being the operative word. I had graphics driver issues that meant rebooting if i wanted to watch video in full screen, after closing the lid. and occasionally windows would just break up into what i can only describe as digital noise.

I have f17 with a dual monitor.

Every time I go full screen with You Tube vide,o the full screen (flash) window pops up but only the left half of the video is displayed on the right side of the left monitor.

It's like the full-screen flash window wants to display on both screens with half the video on each but it never displays on the right-hand monitor.

[ubuntu] half of display black 3 years 9 weeks ago

I recently installed ubuntu 9.10 on an ibm desktop, The bottom half of the monitor is black and the desktop can not be seen. I read on a forum that the display should be set to vesa in xorg.conf, I have searched and can not find it.

I just installed Ubuntu on my asus eeepc 1201hab machine and something is off. Even during installation half of the screen would not be in use and when trailing the mouse around little patches of boxes appear. Another weird thing about this installation is that when I push my cursor all the way to the top the reemerges from the bottom of the screen. I haven't touched the Xorg configuration.
