  Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati
  
  [see attached photo]
  
  I see extensive screen tearing and constant waviness. The amount of
  tearing increases with increased video action (i.e. running glxgears,
  editing a photo in GIMP).
  
- I've tried the following:
- Compix off
- Kernel nomodeset
- xorg edgers ppa drivers
- AGPmode = -1 in Xorg.conf
- 
- Nothing can get rid of it.
- 
- Sometimes I boot and there is no problem at first, but after a few
- minutes the screen is unreadable. Screen captures and remote logins via
- VNC don't show any problems. ~/.xession-errors and Xorg.log don't show
- anything interesting (see attached).
- 
- In Karmic and Lucid up to a few weeks ago was fine. I can try older
- kernels and see if I can isolate when it started. I've tried what I know
- about x debugging, if you need anything else let me know.
+ The screen tearing intensity increases and decreases during use. I've
+ found that it only occurs when KMS is turned on. When nomodeset is a
+ boot option, there is no tearing and waviness.
