This is with the standard (open source) radeon driver. It is also a kde3 problem. xfce and other desktops are fine. Anybody else see this after updates in the last day or two? Any ideas what to look for? Thanks

Solved = downgraded to working state
Guys,
The dialog that caused the screen to scramble was the darn 'kupdater' dialog at the top of the screen that tells you there are updates (even though there aren't any).
My observation is different. When I book my laptop I get a good login screen, but then the pinentry dialogue box causes the screen scramble. If I enter the passphrase blind the login proceeds and the screen is completely pixilated.
I solved the display corruption problem by downgrading to:
I can't see those in the repository. However this is how I solved the problem
From a regular terminal (hotkey or ssh from another machine) I su to root then init 3 to kill the X server, then init 5 to start it. Now all is well.
Two observations. If I do the above I have no problems with the login and pinentry dialogue. If I start but don't use the GUI login, and instead login from a remote connection and do the terminal mode pinentry, then do the GUI login, and since gpg-agent is running don't encounter the pinentry, there is no problem. In both cases I never see any of this pixelation subsequently.
