["Christopher M. Penalver" <christopher.m.penalver@xxxxxxxxx>]

Brian Visel, 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 linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily kernel folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.11.1

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Title:
  [rs690m] Graphics corruption with ati x1200

Status in The Linux Kernel:
  Confirmed
Status in X.org XServer - ATI gfx chipset driver:
  Fix Released
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  [Edit]
  This bug has been around for a bit over a year now, and has gotten rather long, so this is a brief summary.
  There is a memory corruption issue that affects users of the rs690m, to varying degrees.
  For many most people, it makes the desktop unusable.

  Workaround:   *Note: This is a workaround, not a fix.  It will give you a usable system.
  [Natty]: Regression: This workaround now only provides 2d/software rendering, and one must either:
     * Choose choose the "Ubuntu Classic" session from the GDM Login screen
     or
     * Install the "unity-2d" package.  
    
  [code]
  sudo su
  echo options radeon modeset=0 > /etc/modprobe.d/radeon-kms.conf
  exit
  [/code]
  Note that this doesn't totally fix the issue, but brings your desktop to a workable state.

  Freedesktop.org has dealt with one bug having to do with graphics corruption on the rs690m.  That bug has been fixed, but the issue of graphics corruption in general has not been resolved.  A new bug has been opened with freedesktop.org to continue pushing through the resolution of this issue.
