Bug Description
Binary package hint: xorg
There is reproducable corruption of the screen when using a Sapphire Radeon 4770 card with the open source radeon and fglrx drivers.
It takes the form of a "chequered" effect, looking a bit like a chequer / checkerboard.
In Gnome, this is most noticeable when the screen goes greyed (eg when typing gksudo ..) but can also be seen at other times eg in the previews shown in System Preferences-
In KDE, this is much more noticeable right away in the the menu and the ublog on the desktop.
When using the fglrx driver the effect does not show when the screen is greyed, though the theme previews do still show the same corruption.
An attachment shows a screenshot of the grey screen effect.
