Problem with Magic Lamp effect on Kubuntu 13.10 and FGLRX

What is the output of:

sudo lshw -C display; lsb_release -a; uname -a

Thanks

Hey. It's:

I think I should specify: The screen becomes "normal" (no window decoration of course unless you restart kwin) once the old garbled kwin process is dead.

This question was expired because it remained in the 'Open' state without activity for the last 15 days.

The problem still persists with fglrx_13.250-0ubuntu1_amd64. Instead of an all garbled desktop I get a black screen with a cursor on it now. Also I see a tiny bit of color where the window minimized to.

Btw there's also screen corruption in some cases. Especially with games. When switching ttys it happens that the screen loses signal which can only be fixed by restarting the computer.

It does not seem to be connected to the new kernel though since I tried it with the old 3.8 kernel on Kubuntu 13.10 as well.

Could it be some timing issue?
