[Bug 870569] [NEW] fglrx doesn't play nice with gnome3

 

Public bug reported:

I'm using oneiric, fully up to date.

The biggest problem with the driver is while using gnome3, the image
often stutters and the top bar isn't drawn properly but ends up all
blue, see the attached screenshot.

Furthermore, the screen is all scrambled while booting and shutting
down, instead of showing the splash screen. This is not a huge problem
of course, but more a symptom of a problem with the graphics card or
driver
