Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-panel
Ubuntu 11.04, i386. Notebook HP NC6000 with ATI Radeon 9600 (32MB video ram). Internal laptop LCD 1400x1050.
3D video mode doesn't work well. It is not repeatable but in most cases I see a display corruption when I run Unity or accelerated Classic Desktop. Classic Desktop without acceleration is perfect. When I try to run Unity, in most cases I see pattern that is not OK (like part of pixels is missing or have wrong color). For some reason, sometimes even Unity is started with display, that is OK. It is not repeatable, even corruption pattern is different (I noticed several different patterns).
ChipID is 0x4e50, ATI Radeon Mobility 9600/9700 (M10/M11) AGP
have the same problem, using open-source driver on Ubuntu 11.04. Had no issues with Ubuntu up to now and was running compiz with all it's bells n' whistles.
Unity 2d-mode works ok, but running glx-gears generates screen corruption within the terminal window ONLY.
also, problem seems to be intermittent, one day I had no screen glitches at all.
i suspect it's to do with accelerated graphics settings since it only occurs when glx enabled.
