Bug Description
I have a Gateway LT3103u netbook. This has an AMD Athlon 64 and an ATI Radeon X1270 graphics controller. When USB-booting Oneiric 32-bit, the Unity interface comes up completely garbled, no mouse pointer feedback, but there is a mouse as witnessed by the context menus that popup when moving about the screen. The fonts in the popup menus are western but do not spell correct menu items.
When I CTRL-ALT-DEL, the login user screen comes up correctly. But when I log in and the Unity desktop reappears it has the same problems: graphics are corrupted, no readable menus, and no mouse feedback.
USB-booting Ubuntu 10.04, the old user interface comes up without problems on this netbook.

Seems like a driver/X issue. Could you explain which driver is being used? Did you install fglrx? Or are you using the default open source ATI drivers?
