Just to be clear, this bug has nothing to do with hardware drivers (nvidia-current, nouveau, fglrx, etc), or even the Ubuntu distribution itself. This bug has been around for years across different X and kernel versions in different distributions (e.g. Redhat etc).
The only effective workaround I know is to disable desktop effects in KWin or Compiz. and regress to using a straight 2D desktop (no transparency, 3D effects etc). This is a major loss of functionality, especially to use on high-end hardware like my Lenovo W510, so I can't understand why it is apparently getting so little love from upstream Xorg / kernel devs. Sigh. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/567696 Title: [Radeon] [Lucid] [mi] EQ overflowing.
