[karmic] garbled window (no borders) with ATI Technologies Radeon Mobility M7 LW and no visual effects

[jan]

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati

I just upgraded to Karmic.
As with Jaunty, I use the setting "No visual effects".
Starting system monitor yields a fairly stable pattern, with no borders.

Setting visual effects to normal bypasses the problem (of course at a performance lowering).
It is a regression problem in the upgrade.

I was able to grab the window using screenshot (and attached the result)
