Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati

I am running Ubuntu 9.10, amd64 architecture on a Compaq 6910p laptop
with an ATI Mobility Radeon X2300 connected to two displays - the
internal LCD and an extra LCD monitor (1920x1200), connected by VGA
cable.

The configuration typically works as expected, with no obvious problems.

However, I see two intermittent problems:

1) Mouse cursor corruption, replacing the cursor with either a
recognizably mangled cursor or sometimes apparently random noise (for
example, a vertical bar of random dots). This can start at any point
while I am using the computer. Once it has started, it does not recover,
but the desktop is otherwise usable.

2) X freezes (typically preceded by the above mouse corruption). Roughly
every few days, the desktop will freeze completely, forcing me to make a
hard power off.

I've submitted various data using ubuntu-bug, but am of course happy to
answer further questions and post further details of my configuration!

Cheers,

Richard.
