Bug Description

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati

Ubuntu 10.10 amd64
xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:6.13.1-1ubuntu5
Graphics: ATI X1270 (RS690M)
Wireless: Broadcom BCM4321

On a fresh install of Kubuntu, when I can run glxgears. It works properly.
When I install the Broadcom STA Wireless Driver with the Additional Drivers GUI, glxgears stops working, the window is blank. 2D performance is also affected, all windows are redrawn noticably slower.
After uninstalling the wireless driver and restarting, glxgears works again.

I tried to boot to Xubuntu 10.10 x86 Live CD. I can reproduce the problem there, too.

Hey Havier,

Hi, have you had a chance to test if this bug is still present in natty?

If it does (and if you're the original reporter), please boot into natty
and run the command:

  apport-collect <bug-number>

which will update the bug with fresh logs and tag the bug as affecting
natty. (It is best to run this right after reproducing the problem.)

I have just booted the Ubuntu 11.04 Natty amd64 CD.

Doing:

metacity --replace
jockey-text --enable=kmod:wl
glxgears

The glxgears window is now blank, no FPS information is printed.
