82.173.184.217: Resolving Bad images, stripery textures with Ati mobility Radeon X700 in Ubuntu 9.04

After installing Ubuntu 9.04 on my laptop I noticed that some images, textareas and textures were displayed in a stripery way.
And always ther were a few bleu dots around my mousepointer.

Installing the newest fgrlx ATI drive was not an option because after the install X-org hangs.

My hardware:

HP Compaq nw8240
Ati Mobility Radeon X700
1900 x 1200

Ubuntu 9.04

After a long search I found the folowing solution:

Just change the mentioned sections in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf to the folowing:

# start xorg.conf
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Configured Monitor"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Monitor "Configured Monitor"
Device "Configured Video Device"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Virtual 1920 1200
EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "Module"
Load "dri"
Load "GLcore"
Load "glx"
EndSection

Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
Option "EnablePageFlip" "1"
Option "ColorTiling" "1"
Option "AccelMethod" "XAA"
Option "DynamicClocks" "true"
Driver "radeon"
EndSection

#end xorg.conf

After this change finaly my Ubuntu 9.04 performed as wished including compiz and apps like google earth
