Hi, after some days of using the value 0x55555555, I can tell you that I did not see any GPU lockups anymore. Unfortunately, the remaining glitches and artifacts make the system unusable for a productive environment.
* If you "use" the system, after some minutes more and more glitches appear. For example, the taskbar converts to "noise-only". Then, more and more widgets start to contain noise, and you'll have to shutdown X and restart it. * Screenshots do not work. The created PNG is just black. * The "RMB-context menu" shows only text and icons, but no surrounding window. * You see some icons in the taskbar, but not all. * If you place your mouse cursor over an icon in the taskbar, the icon disappears. * Shutting down KDE crashes "kwin"... might be a different issue. The goodies: * KDE works * Transparency and the desktop effects are working :-) * I know that my graphics adapter is not defect :-D Regards, Florian -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/840140 Title: Graphical corruption then black screen using an ATI Radeon 6790 card on boot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xserver-xorg-driver-ati/+bug/840140/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
