Created attachment 126641 [details] 'X -probeonly' log from driver creating OK display
Created attachment 126642 [details] xorg.conf
Problem still happens with kernel-2.6.16-1.2088_FC6 .
startx normally with the problematic server, and attach the log from that please.

Clarification of "Garbled": With xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.5.7.3-4.cvs20060322, the display is initially clear and the 'X' cursor shows OK until the first image is displayed (ie. the KDE/GNOME splash screen). Then it looks like every image is repeated horizontally across the screen at horizontal increments of around 10 pixels - this is repeated for every icon shown when the desktop appears.
This bug is now fixed with xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.5.7.3-4.cvs20060404 - thanks !
