Public bug reported:

Hi,

I don't known where I should exactly post this bug.

I will try to describe it.
Seems to appear since I upgraded from xubuntu 12.04.3 LTS to 13.10.

I'm running it on a Compaq laptop : compaq pressario cq57-421
with Graphiques AMD Radeon HD 6310

This is a sporadic bug which seems to start under some web pages only.
It starts by glitching the screen, slowly more or less frequently
depending on the "faulty" web pages. Some small glitch 2 or 3 by minute
to 1 by second. If I stay on the page it could end to screen to be half
shifted. See attached picture.

Today, after reinstalling the fglrx package. It ended on a simple 3 or 4
pixels bottom glitching video, only on the faulty web page. The whole
system seems not te be impacted as on the picture. During the glitching
phase the frequency was 1 by sec or more.

It could become form a bad upgrade, from the OS, the graphic driver, the X11 
configuration, or the browser…
Sorry to be such evasive at the moment.

Trying the Open source graphical driver (xserver-xorg-video-radeon)  but
ended to a blank or unusable desktop after lightdm auth.

Sorry if this report is in the wrong place, please point me to a more
appropriate one.

I've bookmarked a URL which reproduce the bug: a linkedin.com profile when I'm 
logged in, not very useful.
only at the top of the page, scrolling stop the glitching…

  Hi,

  Seems to appear since I upgraded from xubuntu 12.04.3 LTS to 13.10.

  This is a sporadic bug which seems to start under some web pages only.
  It starts by glitching the screen, slowly more or less frequently
  depending on the "faulty" web pages. Some small glitch 2 or 3 by minute
  to 1 by second. If I stay on the page it could end to screen to be half
  shifted. See attached picture.
  
  Today, after reinstalling the fglrx package. It ended on a simple 3 or 4
  pixels bottom glitching video, only on the faulty web page. The whole
  system seems not te be impacted as on the picture. During the glitching
  phase the frequency was 1 by sec or more.
  
  It could become form a bad upgrade, from the OS, the graphic driver, the X11 
configuration, or the browser…
  Sorry to be such evasive at the moment.
  
  Trying the Open source graphical driver (xserver-xorg-video-radeon)  but
  ended to a blank or unusable desktop after lightdm auth.
