Re: Desktop distorted

Please read How To Ask Questions The Smart Way and then edit your post to include, at a minimum:

  • details about your graphics card and drivers

  • relevant logs, ie., Xorg

  • what DE/WM you are using

  • whether you have tested with a minimal wm, like twm

  • etc...

What you have initially posted in not enough information to help anyone who wants to assist you do more that just ask these sorts of questions.
If you are looking for help, that is your job.

Re: Desktop distorted

All of the other information is too sensitive to share? Fair enough.

Are you using a GTK theme that's completely filled with lines?

I can't use the keyboard.

What's causing you to not be able to use the keyboard? Did your arms fall asleep? If you can't use the keyboard, then how did you open the application?

To be fair, he did share everything except the Xorg log, which is probably the most important piece of information though tongue

A photo wouldn't hurt either.  (pics or it didn't happen!)
