Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg-driver-fglrx

This problem occurs with package:

xorg-driver-fglrx 2:8.600-0ubuntu2 (jaunty)

After installing this package I can't get to the X desktop; the screen
is garbled. More specifically it looks like the screen is rendering but
each raster is offset (stair-stepping, like the rendered buffer pitch is
wrong).

I'm gonna take a wild stab in the dark and say one of the following is
happening:

- The desktop is rendering in a different pixel format to scan out.
- The primary render target size is wrong.
- The primary render target pitch is wrong.

Also worth noting is that X is 'working'; I can still interact and shut
the machine down. I can even see the desktop trying to render but it
looks like a total mess up at the top of the screen with some random
memory junk at the bottom. I'm running on a Dell Inspiron 9400 with a
Radeon Mobility X1400.

I've also tried to get a screenshot; obviously I can't do this from the
desktop so I had to break out the trusty camera (apologies for the
blurriness).
