I've posted a new version of the -fglrx driver to our xorg-edgers PPA,
would you mind testing it either on Jaunty or Karmic and see if it
resolves this bug?

Get fglrx 8.620 here:

Bryce, i can confirm that the new fglrx version from the xorg-edgers PPA fixes the problem on Jaunty.

(I'm using a RV610 [Radeon HD 2400 XT] on amd64)

Thanks for that!
