Hello, 

I am having a problem with my ubuntu 11.10 laptop as its desktop screen starts scrambling (as shown in image). I am considering it a hardware + Software problem and tried to finds its solution but not found any. So if anybody knows something about it, urgent help needed.

W00t this is your signature ? :-P Dude !
Anyways, last time when I had issue like this, I got my MB replaced. It's hardware issue [display panel] I think.

Do you use any sort of graphic card or is it onboard graphics ?

Hello Kunal,
You can start off by deleting your existing Xorg.conf file. here is how:

1. Restart system
2. Hold Shift as GRUB boots
Select root terminal in GRUB login menu
Execute: X -config xorg.conf.new
Copy: cp xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf

this would take care of any mis-configurations. Further, this doesn't
help. you can try to Disable 3D Hardware Acceleration. It would
degrade performance but may give you stable gfx. If disabling works,
then its most probably an issue with Drivers.


If the issue still persists after disabling HA & regenerating
xorg.conf, I would like to ask you if its issue comes up in windows as
well which points to the case of hardware error. And if the problem is
isolated to Ubuntu only, then more debugging would be required
