ummm ok so i have a radeon x550 256mb card, and i have a small display corruption at the buttom right part of the screen appearing as 2 lines a few minutes after i start my x server, one blocking my view of the clock and one just a bit over it, and they just stay there and i close it.
i started getting these corruptions since i installed the fglrx 8.41 driver on ubuntu 7.04 using its packaging scripts, but i knew that my card was not supported on that release, so i waited for the 8.42 and installed it on my slackware 12, and now it does the same thing - so its not the window manager (ubuntu had gnome, slack uses kde) and its not due to my compiz tryouts because it just appears on normal sessions as well.
i dont want no magic cure for this (mostly because i dont think there is one), but i do want to know if this is a common problem and if it was brought to amd's attention or not. other than this im only having the fglrx problems most people are having, so im good
*wanted to post a picture but weirdly enough using ksnapshot on the whole screen or just the region doesnt show these curroptions, so i guess they're on the video-card level and not the x server level.
