A fix has landed in mutter 45.0:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/3255

But I've also proposed a fix for Mesa:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/merge_requests/25173

You only need one fix.

I attempted an install QA test of Ubuntu Desktop mantic daily (0908.2) on
- hp dc7700 (c2d-e6320, 8gb amd/ati rv610/radeon hd2400 pro/xt)

I didn't see the installer, briefly got one error message (didn't have time to recognize/read), then screen went white with oh no, something went wrong... and I was kicked from gnome..

I've tagged this bug report, as I got 502 server errors on ubuntu-bug; and looking it looks like this is what I had anyway.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

It's not surprising if 0908.2 doesn't have the workaround. It didn't land for a day or so after that.
