Comment 83 for bug 507148

I still see this issue on my acer travelmate 8000 with it's ati radeon mobility 9700 (rv350) using the -20 kernel.

when I boot with kms enabled, I get to see plymouth nicely, but as soon as kdm starts, the screen is corrupted. swicthing back to the console shows the same errors printed out continously as in #61 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/507148/comments/61
