Horizontal lines across the screen

[Jarekk]

Hi,

I have been using Mint for a while without a problem. Yesterday I cam up a problem I can't solve.
After update I noticed that across the screen there a lines that are stronger on the right and fade leftwards. I attached a screen-shot of the problem.
I do not know if they are related to drivers or to the hardware (screen or graphic card). I am using Toshiba Tecra with integrated Intel graphics.
Also, I am not completely sure it is directly related to the update. I just noticed it there after the update but it could occur earlier and I did not notice as I was working on two other external screens.

Do you have any suggestions how to find the cause, or maybe you have come across such a phenomena?

Thanks

Hi again,

There was some update today. I installed all the updates. After I came back to the computer and logged in the problem was no longer there.
I have no idea hot it came and how it went away, but the circumstantial evidence point to updates.

Thanks

It will return. Sounds like your cable between motherboard and monitor has a short in it.

Thank you for the suggestion. So this is more like a screen problem.
I will check that!

Thanks
