Screen breaks up, checkerboard like. - JimmyJim - 06-18-2025
Looking for help with video issues.
Sometimes the screen will break up into sortof a broken checkerboard pattern, squares maybe 10px wide. And as I move windows around they might flash or change forming diagonal patterns. I have screenshots and hardinfo but can't manage to attach them to this note.
I can't make it happen at will, with a finite number of steps. But scrolling a document, moving a window, watching video -- things involving the mouse and video activity does increase the probability.
Does not seem to matter what application I'm using.
If I logout and log back in it's fine for a while until it breaks again.
If it breaks and I switch users it's fine until I switch back again, so the problem seems limited to user space.
This system is dual boot with windows, running it for years no problem. With Linux Lite it seems a bit fragile.
Thanks in advance to any and all who might venture to assist,
Jim.
