When I do a regular boot up I get this half distorted screen but the other half is working fine.
I can access the whole screen only when I go to recovery mode and resume from there.
One post suggested to do sudo service lightdm restart
, this didn't change anything.
I also cleaned and repaired any broken packages or whatnat.
Im on a samsung nc10 mini laptop
Pc specs:
Cpu: intel(r) atom(tm) cpu n270 1.60gh
Gpu?: 945gse express
xubuntu
