** Description changed:
Since gutsy I've had
Option "BusType" "PCI"
in my xorg.conf, because my X would otherwise freeze in minutes.
Now, after updating to lucid, the freeze was fixed, but fonts would
corrupt. Sometimes a glyph would turn into something resembling a pause-
symbol (play/pause double bar). Sometimes the glyph would just disappear
and turn to white space. And some colours changed, e.g. everything
written in black could turn bright green. OpenGL was also affected,
Emilia Pinball would be dark and garbled.
Then I found https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/KernelModeSetting After disabling KMS
with
options radeon modeset=0
in /etc/modprobe.d/radeon-kms.conf I had the freeze issue again, and some
(but not all) corruption problems got fixed.
It seems that wrong AGPmode was the reason for all these problems, here
is the information asked in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Quirks
