Bug Description
Binary package hint: xserver-
I upgraded to Lucid and finally use the ati driver.
Every 5 seconds, my screen freezes and starts to become corrupted. It becomes lighter and a light pink/green glow comes from the bottom of the screen and starts to eat the screen until I move the mouse. When I move the mouse, it takes 2 seconds to go back to normal but moving the mouse does not prevent the corruption from appearing. (it's just needed to stop it once it started).
There's also some light garbage everywhere on the screen and the screen looks striped.
Interestingly enough, the green/pink glow also appeas in console in X is started.
This is for sure a ATI bug as there's no problem when using the VESA driver.

Have you tried using the "nomodeset" kernel boot option?
