Bug Description

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati

as the title says
it happens on karmic alpha6, liveCD and installed system too (fully upgraded)
16 or 24 bit depth doesn't matter
by default, the card uses XAA. if I set it to EXA through xorg.conf, kwin window decoration and plasma are fine too
there are some garbage around fonts though

card is
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M6 LY [1002:4c59]

i think it's important, becouse, as for now, people with this card can hardly use the kubuntu live CD (actually the install works, but the whole thing doesn't look good)
