[Bug 1167018] Re: blurred dash distorted in ubuntu 13.04 with ATI Radeon Xpress X1250 RS690

[John S. Gruber]

kai: Thanks for the feedback. Fixing problems starts with the current
development release, so that's where I've started. Raring is running
older code and the package in my ppatwo repository isn't compatible.
It's probably not a good idea to force install like that (not that I'v
never done the same--but it's risky). The interface between unity and
nux is different between the two versions in a way that's significant to
the code involved, by the way.

The process is for the saucy fix to be reviewed and possibly iterate to
a fix that's acceptible to a core developer. Once a fix is accepted, in
general use in saucy, and works OK for everyone (those with the affected
hardware and those using different hardware), it may be possible to
consider an SRU (Stable Release Update) for raring.

In the meantime I'd suggest that you restore your raring system to the
stock nux raring binary packages.

Thanks for trying the fix and letting us know what happened (and for
mentioning your hardware, too).

All: It would be useful for those running saucy to give the fix a try
and leave some feedback.
