[SOLVED!] nasty vertical lines on screen after suspend or hibernation

it's all in the title.. the lines appear while suspending already (thin green or blue lines) and linger on the screen after it's resumed, becoming thick white lines that cover everything).
- i'm using pm-utils
- i use kms with an old radeon mobility card, which doesn't seem to be properly configured (see my other thread viewtopic.php?id=113016).
- the /var/log/pm-suspend.log doesn't provide any useful information. everything looks fine.
- the system didn't resume from hibernation until i set the resume hook. now it does.
- suspending/hibernating from the command line or with the lxde menu produces the same result.

none of these trials solved the problem.
i uninstalled everything except pm-utils and acpi+acpid, as it where before. btw, do i need acpid?
now with the vga drivers...
EDIT:
- removing kms: didn't work
- vbetool seems useless
- trying the new framebuffer Uvesafb i get a black screen (i'll have to use a boot cd to resolve this)
any suggestion at all??

Fix for vertical lines and screen freeze on 2008 iMac after Yosemite upgrade?

Mavericks was running slow with iPhoto. Did the Yosemite upgrade. Vertical lines on screen before everything freezes except mouse. Mouse continues to respond but nothing else, so forced to power off. Tried a revert to Mavericks but that seemed to tick it off (made things worse). Read 3 year old threads that graphics drivers may be at fault, but not sure how to remedy that. Any ideas?

Hi wokingmac,
If you are having an issue with your iMac display not responding appropriately, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

Lines on screen after os x update

I updated to 10.9.3 a few days ago and I now randomly see brief vertical lines on-screen. Just a moment ago it was a full grid. It stays for just long enough that I can see on the screen, the longest was about...2-3 seconds. It most often occurs when loading a new tab on a web browser, or during/after launch of an app. There are no error messages. Can anyone advise?

Hi shawnmo,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that when you experiencing issues with lines on your display. I would suggest some specific steps such as resetting the PRAM and SMC. These steps can be found in the following article.
Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1573
Reset the system
You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.
Reset the resolution
Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
Start up in Safe Mode.
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
Restart your computer.
I hope this helps,

2 vertical lines on screen

My iPhone 4s after restore show me 2 vertical lines on screen, how to fix this problem? I buy my phone on Austria 3 network

Can I take it to any Apple Store on Austria or at take to network provider?
P.S. Sorry for my bad English.

Vertical lines on screen? Help!

Anyone have these awful vertical lines on screen? They just showed up. If you take a screen shot you can't see them. How do I fix this? This happened when I was activating and syncing phone.

Those are temporary fixes and will get you up and running. I think you should call Apple or bring it back to the Apple Store BEFORE you try and resolve the vertical lines problem.
I had the same problem come up after my MacBook did not go to sleep and after force shutting it down, several times I ended up with the vertical lines problem. It may be a prelude to the Random Shutdown problem as my MacBook developed that problem about two weeks after the vertical lines problem.
Just a thought...

HT3964 vertical lines on screen

Monitor has developed vertical lines down screen.Was told by Apple Store that it would cost $85 to look at it and being so old parts would most likely be available. Are parts still available?

In all fairness, I think you may agree that a 6 year life for a computer and monitor is generally considered reasonable, even in the PC world. And I seriously doubt, if the monitor itself is failing, you'd be able to find the parts to fix a 6 year old LCD PC monitor. Best wishes.
Hope this helps

Green vertical lines on screen

dvd player sony model dvp ns57p has green vertical lines on screen. any suggestions. get a new playler blueray?

Please try the steps below:
Adjust the color settings on your TV to make sure the issue is not a simple screen adjustment.
Make sure the disc player is properly connected. The disc player should be connected directly to a TV or Audio/Video (A/V) receiver. It should not be connected to a VCR. This issue can occur if a video signal encrypted with copyright protection passes through a VCR.
NOTE: When the disc player is connected through an A/V receiver, you should also check the connections between the A/V receiver and the TV.
If using A/V cables, check that the red, white, and yellow plugs are securely connected to the same colored jacks on both the disc player and TV (or A/V receiver).
If using component cables, check that the red, green, and blue plugs are securely connected to the same colored Y/P B /P R jacks on both the disc player and TV (or A/V receiver).
If using an S-Video cable, check that it is securely connected to both the disc player and TV (or A/V receiver).
Try playing a different disc to see if the issue only occurs with the one disc.
If the issue is occurring with more than one disc, replace the cables connecting the disc player to the TV (or A/V receiver).
NOTE: When the disc player is connected through an A/V receiver, you should also try changing or replacing the cable between the A/V receiver and TV.
Try connecting the disc player to different input jacks on the TV (or A/V receiver) and change the input mode accordingly to determine if the issue is with a particular input jack.
Try playing another video source (such as a VCR) to determine whether or not the issue only occurs with the disc player.
If the issue occurs with other video sources, then the problem is with the TV (or A/V receiver).
If the issue only occurs when using the disc player, then the disc player may require service.

Flickering vertical lines on screen HP Spectre 13X2

Hi all
Just go my new HP Spectre 13X2 two days ago.
Today when I turned It on after it was in sleep mode - 5 flickering vertical white lines appeared on screen.
Sometimes they get weaker, sometimes stronger.
From looking up in google saw it happened to other consumers - but couldn't find any help/explanation and so on.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi Mikale_Mik, welcome to the HP Forums. I understand you are getting flickering vertical lines. What is the model or product number? What version of Windows is installed?

IPhone 6 vertical lines in screen

My iPhone 6 is new out of the box less than 12 hours ago, immediately it had a thin gray line running from top to bottom and now this morning there are two of them that come and go as they please (more coming than going). tried resetting it completely, tried the home/power button reset and got nothing :-( can anyone help me out? Brand new phone I want it to work right

Thanks to those of you who have responded. It is just frustrating because I absolutely love this phone. I just was shocked to see these ever changing colored vertical lines and sometimes just light grayish stripes throughout my screen. They come and go. Constantly changing, sometimes disappearing and then showing up again in a different app or simply when I pick up my phone after leaving it sit. The problem is where to start? I'm thinking straight to the nearest Apple Store on Monday morning.

Vertical lines showing up after rendering chroma key on Canon 60D footage...

Ok so I am working with Final Cut Pro 7 right now and this is my first green screen attempt.
1) I shot the footage with my Canon 60D and did a log and transfer so I could make the H.264 files into Apple Pro Res 422, the correct method.
2) I then applied Color Smoother 4:2:2 , then Blue and Green Screen and selected green, then Spill Supressor, then Matte Choker, then Mask Feather. After tweaking the parameters throughout the filters I came out with a perfect image.
3) I then tried placing another ProRes video underneathe of the clip so that the video would show in place of the green. It worked and looked great.
HOWEVER
4) Upon rendering and playing back through the final image I noticed vertical lines running down the 60D footage. At first I thought it was the image underneath coming through, but even after removing the image and simply using chroma key until the green turned to black and rendering again, the lines were still present. Am I doing something wrong?
Please help, I have a deadline
-Eric Widder

The HQ flavor of ProRes is overkill for this footage (I also have this model Canon), but that's not really important to fixing your problem.
Further to what Rv told you: I've long been advised by people who are savvy about keyers to avoid the stock FCP keyer and use the Primatte plug-in – and that's been my go-to tool. Recently, I tried the new keyer in Motion5 and was very impressed. I tested it on a project I'd been only OK about and found it made a huge difference. If you're going to do a lot of this kind of work, check it out. For $50 the keyer alone is worth it.

New 21.5" imac vertical line on screen

I just returned from my local Apple store after checking out the new imac computers. I noticed on many of the 21.5" imacs that there was a vertical line down the left side of the screen that looked like burn-in. It's about one and a quarter inches from the left side of the screen. It is clearly visible using any background color except white. Apple store employees and two Apple Geniuses had no idea what was causing it and hadn't noticed it themselves until I pointed it out to them. They said they would investigate. Has anyone else noticed this? It was on about half of the computers that I looked at in the store.

The link posted by Carolyn above is an old issue with G5 iMacs, which has nothing to do with this new issue. This new issue is apparently a fairly widespread manufacturing defect in the new 21.5" Silverback iMacs. I just bought one for my parents this week, and it unfortunately suffers from this same defect. A single pixel vertical line running from top to bottom, about 1.5" from the left side of the screen. On a light background the line is bluish, on a dark background, the line is red. Serious issue, I hope Apple gets on this one quickly.

Thin vertical lines on screen

Hi,
I have a 3 year old G4 laptop. I now have 4 thin vertical lines appearing on my screen. The number of lines has slowly expanded in the last 4 months. I took my laptop to the genius bar and they told me that this is simply light pixels burning out and they could fix it but it would cost over $300.
Do all Mac computers have this problem after 3 years or so? Is there an alternate solution to the problem?
Mike
Thanks for your help.

Hi Michael,
Three years ... it varies. Besides BDAqua's suggestion, you might try looking for an Apple reseller, here's the link for that: Apple Retail and Resellers

Iq500 pc Vertical lines on screen

Hello, just recently vertical pink/white lines have appeared on my whole screen monitor.My screen resolution is 1680 by 1050 and my screen refresher rate is 60 hertz.
When I turn off my pc and restart, the screen is fine but after a few minutes it returns to the vertical line state.
I have also just noticed as the pc starts up, the blue background is all smudged in some places like water marks etc.
My warranty ran out one month ago, any advice/possible solutions would be greatly appreciated.

I posted a question regarding my iq522, pink/vertical lines appearing on my screen.
I sent pc off to hp for repair and the problem was a faulty lvds cable which was causing picture corruption. This cable was replaced.
My pc is only 13 months and I was wondering would anyone know if this would be deemed a minor or major fault/repair.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated,unfortunately I couldn't get any feedback from hp regarding the repair.

Vertical lines on screen - Pavilion 14 NO43TU

I am using Pavilion 14 NO43TU and vertical lines are showing on my screen, continually increasing every startup. I bought it january this year and since i downgraded it to windows 7 i was told that it is not under warranty anymore. but this is a hardware issue and i believe downgrading it does not contribute for the problem. Anyone who could help me here? Thank you in advance.

Hi there @yanabels
Welcome to the HP support Forums!
It is really frustrating when lines like that appear on the display, and I am happy to help with that.
First, you will want to be sure you have the correct drivers installed for your notebook and operating system. You can look at this page and be sure to select your version of Windows 7.

As to the display itself you can read through these, which are a mix of information and troubleshooting.
