Bug Description

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-driver-ati

After the latest gutsy upgrade of the xserver-xorg-driver-ati package I have
a color corruption of the screen as if there was a whitish grid on top of the image.
I tried to deactivate DRI but no difference is observed.
Also, the first pixel row on top of the screen is partially not drawed after the
word "Applications".

My system is a Thinkpad X31 with a Radeon Mobility 7000 LY M6 with 16Mb.

PS: with vesa driver everything works perfectly.

does changing line 105 of radeon_modes.c help:

Photo of my screen showing greys not displayed right

I am also seeing some color problems with 6.7.195. Anything in the lighter grey area turns white. Here is a photo of my monitor, a Dell 1905FP, of the freedesktop.org home page. Notice the border around the fd.o logo is missing, also around the wiki nav bar.

Just for thoroughness, here is a screen capture showing what the color should look like.

Is this a regression from 6.7.194? Is this a dual dvi card? Please attach your xorg log and config.

I have not tried 6.7.194 yet. I jumped from 6.6.x to 6.7.195. I'll give it a shot.

> Is this a dual dvi card?

No, this is a Radeon Xpress 200 with a single analog output.

Will do.

I had the same problem with 6.7.194 as I did with 6.6.x. My monitor goes into power save mode and the X server takes up 100% cpu. I can renice it to a lower priority, but I can't kill it. At least 6.7.195 gets the output correct.

We'll see if there is a need for a SRU for gutsy, but if that happens we need a lot of people testing it and will let you know somehow.

Timo,

I had a similar problem, I had two 1 inch vertical lines in displayed on my screen on the left side and around in the middle. I used 1400x1050 resolution on ATI Mobility 9000 from a Dell 600m.

The package xserver-xorg-video-ati_6.7.195-1ubuntu1 was a regression from my previous one (xserver-xorg-video-ati_6.7.193-1ubuntu1), but your package xserver-xorg-video-ati_6.7.195-1ubuntu1tja2_i386.deb had fixed it.

Thanks!
Logan
