[Bug 22256] Intermittent display corruption on laptop LCD with Radeon Mobility M7 LW (Mobility 7500)
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22256 --- Comment #18 from etb...@gmail.com 2009-07-19 08:45:00 PST --- As a native speaker of the US dialect of English, and as a former electrical engineer who now works on ecology and environment issues, reading the phrase "earth leakage" caused me some degree of semantic overload. :) Glad you found a workaround.

http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22256 --- Comment #17 from Paul Donnelly 2009-07-18 14:11:20 PST --- Hi etbsb Just a little update. It was a PICNIC.;-) Having noticed the mouse related behaviour, and pressing case, or keyboard hard, also affected the corruption, it turns out it's an earthing/earth leakage issue. Slackened off two of the keyboard retaining screws and the problem disappeared. Seems I'd possibly overtightened them, or it was plastic creep with age.

http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22256 etb...@gmail.com changed: What|Removed |Added Status|NEW |RESOLVED Resolution||NOTABUG --- Comment #16 from etb...@gmail.com 2009-07-09 13:24:46 PST --- Paul, Thanks for providing additional diagnostic information, and also for reminding me to update the status of this report. I agree: hardware failure. I found a source of inexpensive surplus Dell parts, and I recently replaced this video card. I haven't seen the problem since. The Inspiron 5100 had (has?) a bad reputation for overheating. I've been careful with mine over the years, and I haven't seen the other symptoms people complained about, but perhaps the cumulative high temperature operation took a toll. (And if it's kosher to do so here, may I mention that I'm now a satisfied customer of txcesssurplus.com ? ) I will mark this case resolved.

I have an Inspiron 8200, with a Radeon Mobility M9, (RV250) but running XP pro only. I have the exact same issue as shown in your screenies, which started occuring for me about 4 weeks ago, following a major thermal excursion, (fans were accidentally disabled). Googling http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&safe=off&newwindow=1&q=lcd+corruption&btnG=Search&meta= brings up similar screenies, going back several years. Seemingly it can be due to a - - faulty/dislodged connector, - laptop lid-closed switch - failing vram - etc. In my case, mouse/keyboard activity can suppress the corruption.

I turned off compositing several hours ago, (at least, I think it's off) and my display has been stable so far.
