[Bug 713440] [NEW] screen corruption when using xterm

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati

I am using metacity since compix crashed (bug 712810). I launched an
xterm but there is only garbage in the window, and also around, on the
desktop and adjacent windows (unless they are redrawn). This is on
today's live image.

I experienced a full X lock up earlier while clicking around with
unity/compiz. The whole screen got scrambled. Unfortunately I had not
set up ssh access so I could not investigate.
