Description Hin-Tak Leung 2014-09-14 02:28:28 UTC
Created attachment 937273 [details]
the appearance of the screen, taken with a phone camera.

Description of problem:
It is easier to describe with a digital picture - the mouse pointer is stuck at about half the normal height (i.e. squashed vertically) as well as having a block of corruptedness underneath it which is dragged around with it, even as it changes from arrow to text prompt to cross-hair, all squashed vertically.

Strangely enough using gnome screenshot to capture with the 'include mouse pointer' option, results in a captured screenshot which is uncorrupted and with a full size pointer, and the screen remains corrupted. Hence my using an external camera to take a shot of the screen.

It is probably related to the hardware being new and driver support incomplete.
(it is a new laptop with fairly current hardware - 
x-video does not work either, but I'll file a second bug for that) -
