I have a Sony VAIO GRX-570 laptop. When 5.0-R came out I noticed VERY unusual symptoms on startx. This is very hard to describe(I'm gonna get a picture and post). When I launch startx the screen goes blank, and imagine this ocean wave type thing sweep across my screen. Its not like just some a screensaver, you can tell by looking at it that its not good. The symptom lasts about 4 seconds and then it stops, and my system is frozen, no error, no kernel panic. This also happens in 5.1, but NOT in 4.8 As I said its very hard to describe, I will attempt to grab a picture and Ill repost. What should I do about this bug?
