I meant, just copy the file, without installing from PPA. Anyway, the number of fp pipes is now 1 which should be "safe" for these cards. If you still have corruption, there must be another reason for it.

Some of these cards have only one functional pipe, or one that passed the tests at the fab, so they disabled the second in the window driver and spec'ed with 1 and called it "SE". Then this series got so popular that they continued shipping it like that even if the cards actually had two perfect pipes. The linux drivers run all cards with 2 pipes, so I thought that was the problem. But you are maybe one of the lucky ones with two working pipes. And the corruption is due to something else.
