[SOLVED] Gateway LT3103u Screen Glitch Fix no longer working

I have the exact same problem as this person

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=99742

I followed the one fix that was posted.

I added radeon.new_pll=0 to my kernel boot line in grub.cfg and added
options radeon new_pll=0
in /etc/modprobe.d/radeon.conf

However when I boot I get an error which says radeon: Unknown parameter 'new_pll=0' and then X wont start, any idea why this might be happening? i've been trying to solve this problem for quite some time.

i have this laptop. mine works with the EXAPixmaps off flag in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-radeon.conf described ->

I also got this to work in debian/ubuntu based distros installing "fglrx-driver" which makes 0 sense because fglrx doesn't support R600 cards.
