Public bug reported:

Hi,
  I've got a Radeon HD4350 and on Maverick most 3d games (assaultcube for example) and Google Earth are badly flickering
and misrendering.  I asked on xorg-driver-ati :

http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-driver-ati/2010-August/016927.html

and Michel Dänzer was good enough to suggest a patch which is in the current mesa git tree
646d2e9fbc41bf49075013009e9583bec4a51168

I pulled this and applied it on top of 7.8.2-2ubuntu2 and it does seem to fix the problem; so I ask that you bring this in - it
makes the difference between assaultcube being unplayable and googleearth being very annoying, to both of them acting as normal.

The diff goes in reasonably easily (I seem to remember there is a patch
to one file that isn't in the 7.8.2 version - I just ommitted that).

There is a ppa of the build currently cooking at:
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-treblig/+archive/mesafiddle/+packages

(Note for google-earth you have to update the ia32-libs as well, or if
you're doing it by hand copy in the libGL and the dri directory in
/usr/lib32 )
