Public bug reported: The image is distorted (picture attached) and is unusable. I have an Apple MacBook Pro 17" with a ATI X1600 card.
The problem is new with X.org 7.1 and was not present with 7.0. The problem is not related to my software configuration. I used the Ubuntu 6.10 install CD (it uses X.org 7.1) and the problem is also present. I also have a similar problem with the fbdev driver so the problem may not be in the VESA driver but in the common X.org code. I do not have this problem with the proprietary ATI fglrx driver, but I have some other problems. So maybe the bug is in the VESA and FBDEV drivers and not in the common X.org code. I do not have the problem with all the resolutions. 1024x768: no problem 1280x1024: no problem 1400x1050: problem I described The problem is really annoying since the install CD of Edgy uses this driver in 1400x1050. So the install CD can't be used.
