The situation is pretty goddamn ridiculous. No matter how many bugs are filed (I personally filed one long time ago and I've seen several complete reports just being tossed aside) nobody really cares about such a huge problem in driver. Philosophy of linux was supposed to be breathing a new life in old hardware. Where did that go? Is asking driver to be complete (or, at the very least, taking ATI rs600m from the list of supported by open driver so people won't get fooled by empty promises) is too much? This is just ridiculous.

I guess this issue is related to the graphics card, which is a Radeon Xpress 1250. The display corruption occurs directly after login on the top of the screen and i mentioned something at the bottom of the search window. I attached screenshots of it. I see similar corruption with ubuntu 15.04.
