Hi Michel,

I did what I could.
I attached 3 log files to this report when the attached graphics card was ATI
Technologes Radeon X600 (RV380).
The actual system I was able to run the system properly was with ATI
Technologies Radeon 9550SE (RV350).
Note that Radeon 9550SE is an AGP graphics card.
I did preserve those log files with Radeon 9550SE as well (I just wrote a shell
script that will automatically collect the log files I need for filing bug
reports.).
Does the current open source ATI Technologies/AMD display device driver has
issues with VIA Technologies/SiS chipsets that have PCI Express?
I observed the same issue I am having here (Unity GUI doesn't go past the
background wall paper drawn on the screen.) with ECS 761GX-M754 mainboard (SiS
761GX/964 chipset).
SiS 761GX chipset comes with PCI Express x16 slot.
I will file a separate bug report for SiS 761GX chipset with ATI
Technologies/AMD graphics cards in the near future.
