Public bug reported:

Testing Oneiric Alpha 3 on an Insprion 1122 with an ATI video card.  I
had issues with screen corruption when connecting an external display
using the OSS driver, so I opened Jockey and tried using the Proprietary
driver instead.

This was even worse, however, because I was almost unable to use the
system while the proprietary driver was loaded.  I had to drop to a
shell and use jockey-text to remove it before I could use the system
again.

So, the proprietary driver that Jockey is suggesting for ATI cards in
Oneiric Alpha 3 breask the system.  The driver needs to be fixed, or
blacklisted from Jockey so that users don't end up with an unusable
Oneiric system.
