I wanted to post here first before filing a bug report, since I don't know if I could explain the bug correctly anyway.
The OS drivers have always behaved this way for me, even the latest GIT (as of a week ago).
Hardware is:
Inspiron 1501 w/ Radeon Xpress 1150
From what I understand it's an R300 core. Phoronix-test-suite system-info says:
Well basically, 75% of the time the screen corrupts when switching resolutions (such as starting a game), I get a screen that looks like this:
If I switch to a terminal by Ctrl+Alt+F1, then back to the previous screen with Ctrl+Alt+F7, the screen displays correctly. It seems that sometimes it doesn't "take" to the new resolution, and switching back and forth solves it. I'm wondering what steps I should take to find out exactly whats causing the problem? TIA.
