The current xorg.conf has been full generated by the amdaccel control panel, so no manual futzing. I commented out TargetRefresh and it didn't help. Removing xorg.conf, however, did. >From what I can tell, it was created because I wanted to have a dual monitor set up, and without tweaking it from the amdaccel app, I can't get more than 1600x1600 between both monitors, which makes it feel like 1994 all over again :) > Can you tell me more about the symptoms?

It seems to happen with everything, not linked to a specific app. Images, text, all of it. If I scroll up and down, it fixes the corruption, but only until something draws itself again. > Can you reproduce this behavior with Unity2D or Gnome Classic (no > effects)? > > If you disable fglrx and boot with -ati, does the corruption still > occur? I haven't tried these, but am happy to if you think it'll add valuable information. -- Martin -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/978289 Title: Screen corruption after the latest upgrade To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/978289/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 978289] Re: Screen corruption after the latest upgrade
Hmm. Well nothing graphical has changed in X recently (there's been some synaptics fixes, but that wouldn't cause this.) However, the fact that it shows up in photos but not screenshots fairly strongly suggests a video driver issue rather than, say, a compositing bug. Nothing indicative in the logs (for corruption bugs there usually isn't though). The fglrx installation looks fine. I do notice in your xorg.conf there's some things set, like TargetRefresh. I don't know what that parameter does, so you might try commenting it out to see if it has any effect. Everything else looks normal. (Btw, you may be able to run fglrx with no xorg.conf now; that might be worth testing, but be prepared to copy it back in place in case X doesn't boot.) Can you tell me more about the symptoms? Does the corruption show up 100% of the time, or only in certain apps? Is it only associated with text fonts? Does it always look the same as in the photo, or does it vary? Can you reproduce this behavior with Unity2D or Gnome Classic (no effects)? If you disable fglrx and boot with -ati, does the corruption still occur? ** Package changed: xorg (Ubuntu) => fglrx-installer (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: fglrx-installer (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/978289 Title: Screen corruption after the latest upgrade To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/978289/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
