Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati

This is a quick bug drop before the Karmic release about yet another bug
with the radeon-killer monitor Nokia 800 Pro+ about which you can read
more in bug 298094. While the latest radeon driver from the
ubuntu-x-swat x-updates PPA for Jaunty worked fine
(1:6.12.2-0ubuntu1~xup~1 it seems), the switch to Karmic broke it again.
Lucky me, the radeonhd driver works like a charm.

This time, the sync seems to be totally messed up. I saw this on Jaunty
as well (I think it was with radeonhd though), it looks like flirring
lines of colorful pixels and the monitor image is jumping like an
heartbeat. The description of bug 20283 sounds similar.

Have a look at the attached Xorg.log.old which uses the radeon driver
without any xorg.conf while Xorg.log uses radeonhd. I currently don't
have the time to investigate further, but next week. Any pointers are
welcome as always :)
