On my system (when it was installed - I got rid of it) every video object, meaning every object on my screen, shortcuts, folders, plasma widgets, everything, was torn horizontally across the screen, except when the screen was updating, then it would momentarily clear.

I had the fglrx from the repository (8 something?) installed, and the latest 9-5. Both exhibited this tearing.

Oh, and if I played a video the objects on the video screen tore as well.

I do not have desktop effects on.

I have kubuntu 9.04 installed.

Nothing I changed in the ati configuration utility had any effect whatsoever.

This is very unfortunate. I watch a lot of video on my machine, and the xorg drivers just aren't good enough to render high quality streamed media in full screen on my system. Fglrx worked perfectly well in intrepid. It was a disappointment to find it broken in jaunty.
