Hi Bryce!

Actually, I still have my HP Compaq 6715b with the Radeon X1250 card

On karmic it worked well, now on lucid it also works acceptable, but with small problems:
- Before the GDM login, garbage becomes visible on the screen (This garbage then fades to the gdm login background)
- Once I used fast user switching two times in a short period of time. After the second time, the screen started to flicker. Changing the resolution didn't help. When I wanted to logout (so I could go to the other profile to save the data and reboot) the screen became blank, and i had to use the power switch to shutdown the machine. After the reboot everything was back to normal.

So I'm not sure if this is actually the same bug, maybe you can provide directions (I'm also not sure if this bug is easily reproducible)
