You can either kill X with ctrl-alt-backspace, or even easier: ctrl-alt-numpad plus/minus to change resolution back and forth again, and it is fixed =) Irritating, but you don’t need to reboot.

After a restart everything is OK, but at some point: ping and green :-P I can reproduce it if I switch the video-whatever-player to fullscreen and back, or by switching desktops. one more note: I'm using a dualscreen setup.

It happen after I execute an app with Wine or an app compiled with libwine like Google Earth. I hope there is another solution because the only way I can get my refresh rate to autodetect correctly is if I install my drivers with Envy. I can't manualy install them, it doesn't work. I've tried everything in faqs and forums. I have this problem too. It happen after I execute an app with Wine or an app compiled with libwine like Google Earth.

But yeah Totem-Xine also failed at it. Wendy - Its very frustrating not being able to do anything but reset the PC too. Full screen of pink! :( Kalpik - No I haven’t tried Envy so far.

It has version 100.19.23. Try and see if that works. Also install totem-xine and libxine1-plugins. Did you try envy? It has version 100.19.23. Try and see if that works.
