Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati
There are little purple flecks flashing across my screen and once in a while a line shoots all the way across, as if I was watching a TV that was getting some interference, but displaying a picture. If I install the fglrx drive (my video card is an ATI Mobility HD 3470), the purple flecks and lines go away, but then it is not smooth when I move my windows around (as i anticipated since ATI dropped support for my card in fglrx a little while back). I tried to screen shot the screen corruption, but the flecks do not appear in the screen shots.
