I installed the fglrx driver from the Ubuntu respository. It does not have this problem. Also, I can load the glx module without the screen going black (as is the case with the ati driver).
I wonder what corner case means because it is easily reproducable. Just turn on monochrome font rendering. It happens on other distros (as mentioned already) as well. -- Monochrome font rendering broken https://launchpad.net/bugs/40063 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
