[Bug 556782] Re: [rs690m] Graphics corruption with ati x1200
I have problems with a clean install of 13.04 x64 and an ATI RS690M graphics card.
Everything is slow, menu shows artifacts and random patterns.
Proprietary drivers do not seem to support this version of ubuntu any more.

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.
