[Bug 421842] [NEW] [karmic] screen corruption and segfaults with radeon m6 ly

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

After an upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 (which was interrupted as a result of
bug 404331), several new problems have appeared.  Font rendering in
Abiword shows a grid pattern which alters as each character is added to
text; certain applications and windows (reliably System Monitor and the
NetworkManager 'connected' pop-up) instead of ordinary contents display
a pattern that I can best describe as tartan (although the attached
images aren't in tartan colours); with DRI on, when a window goes out of
focus is it often corrupted; and (also only when DRI is disabled) when
creating a large window (e.g. for Thunderbird), Xorg segfaults, part of
the left hand of the screen appears on the right and I am returned to
the GDM greeter.

Nevertheless, this problem does not occur when running from Karmic live
CD alpha-4. (see 404331 for additional info). (Since these problems are
new in Karmic, and the upgrade was not at all smooth and required some
recovery, I suppose they could be the result of corrupt packages.)
