Title:
  unidentified fglrx video glitch under firefox which can end in video
  half shifted

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Hi,

  I don't known where I should exactly post this bug.

  I will try to describe it.
  Seems to appear since I upgraded from xubuntu 12.04.3 LTS to 13.10.

  I'm running it on a Compaq laptop : compaq pressario cq57-421
  with Graphiques AMD Radeon HD 6310

  lspci -nn | grep VGA
  00:01.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Wrestler [Radeon HD 6310] [1002:9802]

  This is a sporadic bug which seems to start under some web pages only.
  It starts by glitching the screen, slowly more or less frequently
  depending on the "faulty" web pages. Some small glitch 2 or 3 by
  minute to 1 by second. If I stay on the page it could end to screen to
  be half shifted. See attached picture.

  Today, after reinstalling the fglrx package. It ended on a simple 3 or
  4 pixels bottom glitching video, only on the faulty web page. The
  whole system seems not te be impacted as on the picture. During the
  glitching phase the frequency was 1 by sec or more.

  It could become form a bad upgrade, from the OS, the graphic driver, the X11 configuration, or the browser…
  Sorry to be such evasive at the moment.

  Trying the Open source graphical driver (xserver-xorg-video-radeon)
  but ended to a blank or unusable desktop after lightdm auth.

  Sorry if this report is in the wrong place, please point me to a more
  appropriate one.

  I've bookmarked a URL which reproduce the bug: a linkedin.com profile when I'm logged in, not very useful.
  only at the top of the page, scrolling stop the glitching…

  Some versions information…
