Binary package hint: gnome-shell

Greetings,

After trying gnome-shell and unity on my Intel graphics card, I decided
to install Lucid, and give it a try on my Sony Vaio VGN-NW21SF Notebook,
equiped with an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4550 graphics card.

Software info:

Operating System: Ubuntu Lucid Lynx

Video Driver: fglrx 8.732-0ubuntu1 (ati website 10.5 catalyst),
repository.

Gnome Shell: repository, ricoz, last build.

Unity: repository

Report: I experience the following: constant flickers, rendering
problems (text is deformed, windows are not rendered), basically its
unusable.


I understand that gnome-shell is still in beta, and it will not be included in Maverick as default, but how about Unity.

This is a serious problem, which basically affects many users (I saw
numerous complaints about ATI) , so something must be done.

If you have a solution, or you know what could be the problem, please
provide us with information.

Thank you.
