Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

I just finished the upgrade to Ubuntu 9.10 (Koala).  On first login, I
had no background wallpaper, and if I used the image viewer to view
images, it wouldn't work in full-screen mode.  I did some searching, and
found this:

tormod in comment #22 says to file it as a bug against EXA, since XAA
will not be getting as much attention.  Hopefully you got the sysinfo
from ubuntu-bug, and probably more than once :)

The relevant lines in xorg.conf are these:

### added Option "AccelMethod" "XAA" - Tabor 9/14/09
Section "Device"
	Identifier	"ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV250 If [Radeon 9000]"
	Driver		"ati"
	BusID		"PCI:1:0:0"
###	Option "MigrationHeuristic" "smart"
	Option "AccelMethod" "XAA"
EndSection


I tried both "smart" and "greedy" to no avail.  XAA does work, so I'm in business.

Hope this helps, as I'm a big fan of Ubuntu.
