Bug #: 49262 Summary: Radeon HD 6970 not rendering properly Classification: Unclassified Product: DRI Version: XOrg CVS Platform: x86-64 (AMD64) OS/Version: Linux (All) Status: NEW Severity: major Priority: medium Component: DRM/Radeon AssignedTo: dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org ReportedBy: blinxwang@gmail.com
Created attachment 60753 --> https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=60753 Messed up rendering
Hello all Since the 11.10 release of Ubuntu, and now the 12.04 release of Ubuntu, my Radeon HD 6970 has not worked properly with the open source drivers. It always boots up with the corrupted screens as shown in the pictures below. My display setup is a bit unusual; I have a 1280x1024 analog display that I have plugged in to the graphics card via a DVI-to-VGA adapter (also shown below). These problems do not occur if I use the proprietary driver suite or if I use Windows 7. Thanks in advance.

Could you try one of the two following options: - under grub.cfg, remove "set gfxpayload=$linux_gfx_mode" for the problematic boot entry. - under grub, when you boot, select a different entry. Usually, with Grub2 under Ubuntu, you'll find the same boot entry in your list at the bottom, but it doesn't use the "set gfxpay..."
Read bug 43655, it could give you a hint. If it does help, then you'll be welcome aboard. ;)
