Comment 20 for bug 762203

Hi,
Tried the plymouth revert script but had no effect. Terminal reported no changes.
I had not run any special scripts in 10.10 because I never had any problems with that so there shouldn't have been any hang-overs.
Anyway I had performed a complete re-installation of 11.04 to ensure I had no remnants of 10.10.

What I have noticed is that during normal boot (about 3/4 way through) I get a black screen with white vertical bars with what looks like some effort of text in the middle. This last for about a second. I will try to get a photo of it.
During shut down I get a single pixel line of dots and dashes across the centre of the screen for a few seconds, then the screen goes blank and system hangs.

I have also noticed that if I boot up in recovery mode I get white text on a black background (as you would expect) but the white text is in the form of white rectangular blocks - not characters. I will try to get a photo of this too. After a few minutes in recovery mode I do get the normal menu screen OK.

Sometimes - but not always (even in 10.10) at startup I get multiple images, although alternate lines are shifted a few inches (a bit like interleaved video) I have always been able to resolve this by "System - Preferences - Monitors" and selecting a different screen resolution - which I can then change back. I don't think this is related to the freezing on shutdown which only occurs in 11.04.

In summary - Still having problems. Sony VGN-A617S RADEON X700.
