** Description changed: - [Edit:] - This bug has been around for almost a year now, and has gotten rather long, so this is a brief summary. + [Edit] + This bug has been around for a bit over a year now, and has gotten rather long, so this is a brief summary. There is a memory corruption issue that affects users of the rs690m, to varying degrees. - For many, if not most, it makes the desktop unusable. + For many most people, it makes the desktop unusable. - There is a workaround: - Regression: This workaround now only provides 2d graphics [natty]. + Workaround: *Note: This is a workaround, not a fix. It will give you a usable system. + [Natty]: Regression: This workaround now only provides 2d/software rendering, and one must either: + * Choose choose the "Ubuntu Classic" session from the GDM Login screen + or + * Install the "unity-2d" package. + [code] sudo su echo options radeon modeset=0 > /etc/modprobe.d/radeon-kms.conf exit [/code] - Note that this doesn't totally fix the issue. - Also, on Natty, it causes the system to fall back to software rendering, thus preventing compositing. + Note that this doesn't totally fix the issue, but brings your desktop to a workable state. - Freedesktop.org has marked the bug as 'Fixed', although at present Launchpad doesn't reflect this, and the code still needs to be compiled by someone and tested. A new bugreport will need to be opened on freedesktop.org if it doesn't work. + Freedesktop.org has dealt with one bug having to do with graphics corruption on the rs690m. That bug has been fixed, but the issue of graphics corruption in general has not been resolved. A new bug has been opened with freedesktop.org to continue pushing through the resolution of this issue.
