[Bug 189198] Re: [RV200 QW 7500] video comes up garbled - monitor edid not 1.2 compliant, and X picks wrong preferred mode

 

Similar bug still happens to me occasionally. Question #118449 is NOT SOLVED, but I don't know how to change 
the "state" and reopen the bug. So I repost here my question:
 
SCREENSHOT: http://www.microsmeta.com/dblog/graficaimpazzita.png
HARDWARE:
Notebook Acer Aspire 1356 LMI (2004)
Athlon XP Mobile 2800+
1,25 GB (expanded)
ATI RADEON MOBILITY 9200 64M

Ubuntu Lucid Lynx starts normally with 3D acceleration / Desktop Effects
(Compiz) activated. After a while (10 -> 30 MINS ) the desktop is full
of big lines of random pixels . Restarting single applications do not
solve, and soon Ubuntu becomes unstable and crashes. I can only close &
restart the session as quick as possible as a workaround.

It happens with both latest GNOME / LXDE desktop environments

XORG VERSION: 16 June 2010 09:31:32AM
GCC VERSION: 4.4.3 (i486-linux-gnu)
GNOME 2.30.2 (Ubuntu 2010-06-25)
KERNEL 2.6.32-23-generic (#37-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jun 11 07:54:58 UTC 2010)

I SUSPECT SOME BUGS ON MESA DRIVERS... NB WAS WORKING WELL USING UBUNTU
