Description Elmo R 2009-06-23 14:09:46 UTC 
When running a kernel without "nomodeset" all images (PNG, etc.) and java applications come out with corrupted images. See attached. If I reboot with nomodeset everything works fine. I was told to submit a bug because this workaround won't be available in the future. Please note, that no special acceleration options are being used (afaik) in my xorg.conf file. Taking snapshots of the screen also cause image corruption (see attached).

Can you try 2.6.30 kernel? We have lots of 8xx fixes in it.

If that doesn't help, please attach dmesg output.

I've downloaded the latest version, and will configure with the same options as the ~27. Will report results.

It looks like 2.6.30 kernel contains the necessary fixes for this bug. You can close this request.
