Oh. Something else I noticed, although I don't know if it's important: When an application (let's say the terminal), is updating regularly, it will affect areas outside of itself on the screen, which we've all discussed -- bleedover from one element on the screen to another. But even when that p

I still have this problem in Natty. Badly. The "radeon modeset=0" (disabling KMS) workaround still works, sortof. It reduces the frequency/amount of corruption. However, the underlying problem is still there. ..and with Natty as it is, disabling KMS also disables compositing, unlike with Maveri

A week ago, I was ready to declare this bug "fixed" in the Natty Alpha code. Then, two days ago I went through a dist-upgrade evolution and now the corruption is back worse than ever. Right now, not even the "radeon modeset=0" fix will make it work (which worked for the longest time for me).

A workaround for now is to disable KMS. sudo echo options radeon modeset=0 > /etc/modprobe.d/radeon-kms.conf For some users (particularly users with encrypted volumes) KMS is enabled very early in the boot process and in order to pick up these changes you also need to run sudo update-initramfs -u
