Thread: Strange colours on gtk applications


hi all,

i've installed lubuntu (oneiric ocelot) on parent's computer. updates installed , runs fine. problem programs use gtk strange stripes , colours (mainly pale blue/green , red) across buttons , text fields. text becomes unreadable. moving mouse on affected area turns normal temporarily. couldn't find searching, here am.

computer aged desktop. athlon xp, 1.6ghz think 512mb ram. there dedicated graphics card i'm not sure exactly.

quite familiar linux including digging internals, don't use ubuntu myself.

thank time,
thomas

this sounds graphic card driver issue, great deal if can find card being used.

can show output of
code:
lspci
in terminal, or if no
code:
sudo lshw -c display
