Bug#524280: Same problem on Radeon HD 3200

[Astrid S. de Wijn]

I have the same problem with the on-board graphics card of a
Gigabyte GA-MA78GPM-DS2H motherboard.  Lspci output:

01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon HD 3200 Graphics (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
        Subsystem: Giga-byte Technology Device d000
        Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 10
        Memory at d0000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M]
        I/O ports at ee00 [size=256]
        Memory at fdfe0000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
        Memory at fde00000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=1M]
        Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled]
        Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 3
        Capabilities: [a0] MSI: Mask- 64bit+ Count=1/1 Enable-

I don't have any more information to add to the extensive test results from
Jacek Politowski, except perhaps for my pretty generic xorg.conf (see attachment).
I am using unstable with a stock 2.6.29 kernel.  Downgrading to 6.9.0
worked for me as well.

I can confirm that the image on the screen with the broken driver is some sort of 
mixup of what the screen looked like just before things broke.  At one point during
my downgrade things were half fixed and I got almost the entire original image back.
I could read most of the text in my terminals.  This happened even after a soft reboot.

Please let me know if you need any more details on my hardware cofiguration.
Unfortunately I am not in a position to reboot this computer a lot right now
for testing different versions, because it is being used for long simulations.
