Public bug reported: I'm using oneiric, fully up to date.
The biggest problem with the driver is while using gnome3, the image often stutters and the top bar isn't drawn properly but ends up all blue, see the attached screenshot. Furthermore, the screen is all scrambled while booting and shutting down, instead of showing the splash screen. This is not a huge problem of course, but more a symptom of a problem with the graphics card or driver ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 Package: fglrx 2:8.881-0ubuntu3 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.0.0-12.20-generic 3.0.4 Uname: Linux 3.0.0-12-generic i686 NonfreeKernelModules: fglrx .tmp.unity.support.test.0: ApportVersion: 1.23-0ubuntu2 Architecture: i386 CompizPlugins: [core,bailer,detection,composite,opengl,compiztoolbox,decor,mousepoll,imgpng,regex,wall,resize,move,place,vpswitch,snap,session,grid,gnomecompat,animation,expo,unitymtgrabhandles,workarounds,ezoom,fade,scale,unityshell] CompositorRunning: None Date: Sat Oct 8 10:57:56 2011 DistUpgraded: Fresh install DistroCodename: oneiric DistroVariant: ubuntu DkmsStatus: fglrx, 8.881, 3.0.0-12-generic, i686: installed EcryptfsInUse: Yes GraphicsCard: ATI Technologies Inc RV730XT [Radeon HD 4670] [1002:9490] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: XFX Pine Group Inc.
