I still have this problem in Natty. Badly. The "radeon modeset=0" (disabling KMS) workaround still works, sortof. It reduces the frequency/amount of corruption. However, the underlying problem is still there. ..and with Natty as it is, disabling KMS also disables compositing, unlike with Maverick.
At this point, the default install of Ubuntu is effectively useless for many on Radeon rs690m (a fairly common card), and has limited functionality if you apply the workaround. Even though it's not currently reflected on Launchpad (tracking of the fd.o bugzilla seems to be borked currently), freedesktop.org has closed that bug as 'fixed'. However, this didn't seem certain (you can look at the bug yourself to see what I mean). I don't know if it is actually fixed, and I can't test it as I don't know the process of getting code from freedesktop.org into a compiled binary. Jerome Glisse, who closed the bug on freedesktop.org said that we shouldn't open another bug report with them on this issue until I (or someone else with the problem) can get that done. Any ideas for resources/howtos on that (fd.o git -> ubuntu binaries)? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/556782 Title: [rs690m] Graphics corruption with ati x1200 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
