It's disappointing, but I think there are just too many bugs and not enough coders to fix them, and they've got to prioritize. -- on top of that, there's not a *really* good method out there of evaluating the impact of a problem. This is obviously a high-impact problem, considering how common the card is, but it's slipped between the cracks.
As to your idea -- I think that radeonhd drivers are incompatible with the newer versions of X -- which is why they were phased out anyways. Unfortunately, the newer drivers obviously don't work right for a lot of people. The best bet to getting a fix is probably emailing the maintainers of the new driver -- getting on mailing lists and discussing it. I long ago gave up on fighting this particular fight. If it helps, this is definitely a sideport ram issue, and disabling sideport ram in the BIOS fixes the problem -- however, many BIOSes do not allow you to do this. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/556782 Title: [rs690m] Graphics corruption with ati x1200 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/556782/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
