[Bug 711605] [NEW] Random characters are being replaced by a filled square

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

Random characters (in all apps) are being replaced by filled squares, and every time I enter a new session, it changes.
I'm using compiz, compositing and radeon driver (all ubuntu default). Currently, I'm on a dual-head system, with a HD4870 as VGA. Also, I didn't noticed any evident reports on logs.

Important! I had the EXACTLY same bug on Debian Lenny, from which I
migrated some days ago. Apparently it started after I switched from
fglrx to radeon, but I'm not sure.
