No, this was fixed in one of the later ATI drivers. You can close it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/572310
Title: font rendering of shaded text unreadable Status in “xserver-xorg-video-ati” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Binary package hint: xorg In ubuntu 10.04 and 9.10, when rendering text that has a background shading, this shading shows up as a dark blocky background, making the text unreadable. I will attach a screenshot with an example (one of many) in firefox. It also shows up in other places throughout the OS, such as when switching to a new song in banshee, on the fade in/fade out effects. I previously reported this against the wrong package and a worse description as #502336. I initially thought this was related to not using compiz, but I am using compiz (desktop effects) and it is still rendering wrongly. My machines happen to all be running (different) ati cards.
