Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati
[see attached photo] I see extensive screen tearing and constant waviness. The amount of tearing increases with increased video action (i.e. running glxgears, editing a photo in GIMP). I've tried the following: Compix off Kernel nomodeset xorg edgers ppa drivers AGPmode = -1 in Xorg.conf Nothing can get rid of it. Sometimes I boot and there is no problem at first, but after a few minutes the screen is unreadable. Screen captures and remote logins via VNC don't show any problems. ~/.xession-errors and Xorg.log don't show anything interesting (see attached). In Karmic and Lucid up to a few weeks ago was fine. I can try older kernels and see if I can isolate when it started. I've tried what I know about x debugging, if you need anything else let me know.
