Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati

I tried booting the Ubuntu 8.10 i386 live CD on a machine with a MSI RS482M4 motherboard, connecting the VGA output of the on-board graphics adapter to an iiyama ProLite E380s 1024x768 LCD display (same machine and display as bug #138084, bug #138087, bug #188660, and my confirmation of bug #222297).

With this Ubuntu version, the live CD successfully boots into a desktop, but the desktop background is all black with a large white rectangle in the middle of the screen. When opening menus or dragging windows, they leave droppings on the background, consisting of enlarged portions of other windows (I will attach some screenshots demonstrating this shortly).
