I've the same bug, i suppose, but with an rv200 chip (Radeon Mobility 7500). The lighting "colour" is random. Often is light blue or light red.
I'm using KDE 4.6.4 (with desktop effects enabled) on gentoo with xf86 -video-ati 6.14.2, mesa 7.10.2 and kernel linux 2.6.38-gentoo-r6 with KMS enabled. Let me now if you need more information. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/539163 Title: [Legacy Radeon cards] Desktop effects/compiz: display brightness fluctuation with zoom, workspace switch or Expo Status in X.org XServer - ATI gfx chipset driver: Invalid Status in “xserver-xorg-video-ati” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Ubuntu Lucid Lynx, kernel 2.6.32.xx Zooming in with Super+Scroll causes the screen to become very dark, practically unreadable. Adjusting Fn+Brightness doesn't fix this, although I can tell the brightness changing slightly. The same thing happens when changing workspaces (Ctrl+Alt+-> or Ctrl+Alt+<-), dragging a window from one workspace to another, or using Expo (Super+E) to view all workspaces simultaneously. Returning to normal zoom level will always restore the correct level of brightness immediately, corresponding to how it might have been adjusted during black out. I also noticed that the cursor will stay bright against the dark background. I originally reported this bug against the kernel because with the mainline kernel there were no issues with brightness (albeit, there are some other issues). Later it was confirmed to be a bug in video drivers through the bug report at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25883 A work around for the bug is to disable the setting 'Lighting' in Compiz general settings under the display tab. --- AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.21.
