I've yet to reproduce it on anything but a Radeon-based display.
I've just returned (Friday) from a week away, during which my system was shut down. On restarting, I took advantage and did an update/upgrade in
single user mode, which included a reboot due to kernel upgrade. On rebooting to multiuser mode, my screens were also all messed up (even less "readable", though I could tell where the login prompt was due to the higher brightness). I have an nVidia "NV40GL [Quadro FX 4000] (rev a1)", per the output of 'lspci', and I'm using the proprietary nVidia driver.Your suggestion to update the ATI driver prompted me to update the nVidia driver on my system, and that did indeed fix the problem.
Thanks, -- Bob McGowan
