My Xorg looks like the Mandelbrot Set. What does yours look like?
Seriously. ATI needs to stop sucking at life and make drivers that don't do this shit. I've been wrestling with this on and off for weeks and this is the fruit of my efforts.
edit: before someone asks, I am using an HD 4870 with the proprietary drivers.
