Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xorg-driver-fglrx
I am currently using the fglrx driver on Ubuntu 8.10. I
installed/selected it using the dialog at 'System' -> 'Administration'
-> 'Hardware'.
When switching to a second user on another VT by using the user switch
applet it shows the login screen of GDM, but scrambled. Typing the
username/password loads Gnome which is similarly scrambled.
