Bug Description

I have a problem with this version, sometimes the display shows various colors and stripes while I'm watching slides open office, or while I'm browsing with Firefox. Then, I have to restart the computer to get everything back to normal.
My laptop has an ATI X1270 (packard bell dot m/a), but in the previous version ( mint 8 ) work properly.
Does anyone have the same problem or solution? thanks

It's the xserver-xorg-video-ati package that is causing my problem, this is also the package that enables enhanced desktop. This package was installed when installing 10.04, I have uninstalled it, but I lose a lot of resources related to graphics.

Can you attach a screenshot of the problem as well as the output of lspci -vvnn?

Also please copy and paste the output of uname -srm.
