have taken few steps remedy issue. first, reinstalled x.org driver. when problem persisted, removed x.org driver , replaced fglrx, find ati dropped hardware acceleration card (ati radeon mobility x300). reverted x.org tried backing system , reinstalling ubuntu. again, problem continued occurring. guess is firmware. if case, how fix this?
