Title:
  [HD3450] Switch user causes corrupt screen

Status in “xserver-xorg-video-ati” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “xserver-xorg-video-ati” source package in Hardy:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: xorg

  Using the 'switch user' feature causes the display to be corrupted, blues 
become greens and other colours are not consistent. Attached is a screenshot, 
taken while the screen was corrupt, as you can see, the screenshot is normal, 
so I've also taken a photo of the screen.
  The system remains perfectly usable, however. Logging out and in again fixes 
the corrupt screen.

  I am not using any proprietary drivers and Ubuntu 8.04 is fully updated 
(hardy-security and hardy-updates) as of 5 Jan 2009.
  When I use the proposed proprietary driver, 'switch user' causes a complete 
crash, with a black screen, unresponsive to ctrl-alt-backspace and ctrl-alt-f2. 
That might explain some entries in the logs.
