[Bug 908890] Re: Unity graphics corrupted on Ubuntu 11.10 and AMD/Radeon based netbook

 

Theodore Omtzigt, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't
been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an
issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development
release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p xserver-xorg-video-ati REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER

Please note, given that the information from the prior release is
already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one
would not be helpful.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  Unity graphics corrupted on Ubuntu 11.10 and AMD/Radeon based netbook

Status in “xserver-xorg-video-ati” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have a Gateway LT3103u netbook. This has an AMD Athlon 64 and an ATI
  Radeon X1270 graphics controller. When USB-booting Oneiric 32-bit, the
  Unity interface comes up completely garbled, no mouse pointer
  feedback, but there is a mouse as witnessed by the context menus that
  popup when moving about the screen. The fonts in the popup menus are
  western but do not spell correct menu items.

  When I CTRL-ALT-DEL, the login user screen comes up correctly. But
  when I log in and the Unity desktop reappears it has the same
  problems: graphics are corrupted, no readable menus, and no mouse
  feedback.

  USB-booting Ubuntu 10.04, the old user interface comes up without
  problems on this netbook.
