FGLRX causes horizontal screen corruption

[cob]

I just installed 10.04 32-bit, and I have an ATI HD 4200 on-board video IGP. I installed the hardware driver using the GUI method, and the desktop looks like this now. This input form is heavily corrupted, so I'll review this post in a moment and make sure it's not badly mistyped.

Screenshot...if I try to use any menus, they end up looking like the window title bar in this screenshot.

Sorry to revive this thread, but this affects me aswell, its slightly noticeable on the mouse cursor with compiz activated. On metacity almost 60% of the screen is corrupted.

Open source driver works just fine. Also works fine with MS OSes.

mainboard is an ECS a785gm-m7
Ubuntu 10.10 32 bits with pae kernel (because of ram > 3gb)
installed fglrx from "Additional drivers"

EDIT: 'Fixed' by switching from the -generic-pae kernel to the -generic one.
