Peter, in reviewing this bug report, I think part of the problem is that there are too many different unrelated issues being reported in it, which makes it difficult to follow and hard to understand what specifically needs to be solved.

As a general rule, please always limit one issue per bug report. For this report, let's focus specifically on the split screen issue, as that sounds like the main X problem here. For any other issues you encounter please file a new bug report.

What I would like to do next is to forward this bug upstream. However, before we do that it needs to be tested against a newer version of the -ati driver in case the issue has already been solved. The easiest way to do this is to boot the Jaunty Alpha-5 LiveCD, which you can get from http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/releases/jaunty/. Can you give that a go and report your findings here?

Also, if at all possible please attach a digital photo of the screen when it is showing the error, as that could help upstream identify the problem. Thanks ahead of time.
