Thread: split screen error! Unable to install 13.04


i've been having problem on 12.10 latest kernel updates @ least 3 months hoping new (k)ubuntu version somehow fix it.
if recall correctly, after updating kernel 3.0.5-21 onwards, error upon loading kde:

splitscreenerror.jpg

can see screen area somehow split in 2 parts. kinda cool not wanted!
@ first hoped fixed (or go away) next kernel update wasn't!
after testing both kubuntu , ubuntu 13.04 on system today, same split screen error. what's more there seem no install options live dvd tests, gui messed up.

i've got brand new sony vaio (i7, 6gb ram, ati vga [radeon 7500m/7600m series]).

i've tried install "official" ati linux driver in past without success.
installed allright couldn't 3d acceleration work regressed 1 provided repos.
i'm heavy blender user , hardly possible use on such high end system, same.


clues?

really make transition 13.04 guess need sort out damn ati graphics issue first.

current xorg.conf

code:
section "serverlayout"         identifier     "aticonfig layout"         screen      0  "aticonfig-screen[0]-0" 0 0 endsection  section "module" endsection  section "monitor"         identifier   "aticonfig-monitor[0]-0"         option      "vendorname" "ati proprietary driver"         option      "modelname" "generic autodetecting monitor"         option      "dpms" "true" endsection  section "device"         identifier  "aticonfig-device[0]-0"         driver      "fglrx"         option      "usefasttls" "1"         busid       "pci:1:0:0" endsection  section "screen"         identifier "aticonfig-screen[0]-0"         device     "aticonfig-device[0]-0"         monitor    "aticonfig-monitor[0]-0"         defaultdepth     24         subsection "display"                 viewport   0 0                 depth     24         endsubsection endsection
