ATI Radeon Xpress 1250 - Unreadable fonts on Gnome

[Marco]

The fonts in Gnome 3 are very unreadable with ATI Radeon Xpress 1250

I include photos of the problem.

My Conf is:

Edition: Gnome 32-bit

mint@mint ~ $ lspci | grep VGA
01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Xpress 1250

mint@mint ~ $ sudo lshw -c display | grep driver
PCI (sysfs)
       configuration: driver=radeon latency=64

mint@mint ~ $ glxinfo | grep render
direct rendering: Yes
OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on ATI RS600
    GL_NV_conditional_render, GL_ARB_draw_elements_base_vertex,

Hi,

Exact same problem. First on Debian Wheezy and now on Arch with Gnome (first time tried Arch). I have an LG E200 laptop with Xpress 1250.

Fonts in Gnome's menu are corrupted by lines. Lines change as font size and hinting is tweaked via Gnome tweak tool but never disappear.

The first time i saw this bug was on Debian Squeeze (old Gnome) but only on fonts that were on Blender's Software Menus.

Ah, fount too late cause I searched for x1250.
Seems to be the same problem like my reported #1389655, too...but 2012 and no changes?
What to do with such a laptop, it is still good but there is no working os anymore? Can´t believe...
Is there any solution in sight?
