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

darren, 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-v3.12-rc2

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:
  Display Corruption Using KMS on Radeon HD 3400

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  There are little green dashes across the screen randomly. This is on a
  Toshiba Satellite Pro laptop with an RV620 Radeon HD 3400 display.

  Throughout using Karmic this was absolutely fine using the Radeon
  driver. To get 3d support I started using the Xorg-edgers PPA and then
  3d support was fine too.

  Now from upgrading to Lucid the display corruption is there from
  Plymouth onwards. It does start off worse and then get slightly better
  on one laptop but on an identical laptop the corruption is slightly
  worse. Obviously the clocks are slightly off between laptops. It's
  still not perfect on any though.

  Using nomodeset on the kernel options sorts it out but then the
  virtual desktop has to be set before changing display properties.

  I've tested with the mainline kernel (2.6.34-999) which is exactly the
  same.

  As an aside, these Toshiba laptops seem to have a dodgy implementation
  of the RV620 - fglrx has always just hard-locked on X start, now this
  works but gives very bad display corruption. Using Windows on them is
  fine though so I can't blame the laptops specifically.
