I can confirm the same scenario I had in the original bug report but
with the newer drivers that have since been released, this bug appears
to be fixed, so looks like it was something to do with the old ATI
proprietary driver.

Thanks for your attention!

Title:
  Scaling display goes bright/white

Status in “vinagre” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I have a Sony VGN-FW31J laptop. Has ATI Radeon Mobility HD 3400 graphics card and I am using proprietary drivers:
  Catalyst: 11.3
  Driver packaging version: 8.723.1-100408a-098580C-ATI
  2D Driver version: 8.83.6
  Catalyst Control Center Version: 2.13
  RandR version: 1.3

  I am on Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS and have Compiz enabled. I am using Remote
  Desktop Viewer 2.30.2 and I am using GNOME.

  The issue is that I can connect, view, and control a remote computer
  without any problem. However I am trying to connect to a computer with
  a larger resolution than my screen. I used to have the default
  proprietary ATI drivers (that came bundled with Ubuntu, sorry but I
  don't know versions etc.) and it worked fine. Since I updated to the
  above versions, when I switch on "Scaling" it displays odd. Most of
  the display is white and much of the colour is very brightened and
  looks like it is very distorted - I can't make out the actual image at
  all.

  I have tried turning off Compiz, and changing a few settings that I
  don't know what are for (like Vertical Sync) in the ATI CCC, but
  nothing seems to fix it.

  The only thing that works is if I do "vinagre reset" in a command line
  window, but as soon as the screen changes (e.g. I move my mouse
  around) the screen gets lighter and lighter again until it is white,
  and that also displays an error message saying: "Connection to host
  /reset/ was closed".

  Hope someone can help and find a more permanent solution! Thanks. Let
  me know if you need any more detail.
