I don't have a Radeon but the consensus seems to be that is a driver issue, and if you change the Device section of xorg.conf, that will "fix" it.
Open a terminal window (Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal) and enter the following commands:
Code:
sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup
sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Look for the Device section and change the entire section to this
Code:
Section "Device"
Identifier "ATI Radeon"
Driver "ati"
Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"
Option "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy"
Option "AccelDFS" "true"
Option "EnablePageFlip" "true"
Option "EnableDepthMoves" "true"
EndSection
Then scroll down to the "Screen" section and change the Device value to "ATI Radeon".
Save it and exit gedit.
Now enter (in the terminal)
Code:
/etc/init.d/gdm restart
That will log you off and restart the Xorg server, picking up the new settings.
Does that fix it?
