Bug#632098: [gnome-shell] Interface corruption with FGLRX driver

[Simon Wenner]

Package: gnome-shell
Version: 3.0.2-1
Severity: important

GPU: ATI Technologies Inc RV770 [Radeon HD 4850]
Driver: fglrx 1:11-6-2

At start-up of the shell only the icons in the upper right corner are
filled with random pixels. With each additional minute I it the
corruption of interface elements spreads. First all applications icons,
then scroll bars and at the end most of the elements in the activity
view. The attached screen shot shows some of these effects. It does not
crash.

I know that I can use the free radeon driver, but for certain GPU
applications (like OpenCL and GL 3.x) I'm forced to use fglrx.
