Bug Description

Binary package hint: xorg

After a few months without any specific problems regarding my graphics card I see screen artifacts in Gnome again (some time ago this problem seemed to be solved, see bug 413259). It takes some time now after booting up before the first artifacts show up, then they sometimes (not always) accumulate. I'll attach a screenshot.

The problem seems to persist in Natty – see bug 771370. Even though the corruption looks quite different… it's the same graphics card with PCI ID 1002:4c66.

I marked this bug as duplicate of bug #771370 some months ago but since the problem of the original reporter of that bug is solved and mine is still present I go back to this bug report – still, you'll find some additional information there.

Most information is collected upstream (at freedesktop-bugs #36754).

Since I'm not able to reproduce this bug on Ubuntu 10.10 (maverick) I'll close this bug & open a new one for this issue on Natty. The performance of this graphics card is great on Maverick, there's just one minor bug – see bug #539163.
