Sorry, missed that:

Code:

sudo service gdm stop

Replace gdm with the appropriate session manager (kdm, lxdm...) if needed.

Summing up so far:
It seems to affect desktop cards based on the HD5000 and HD6000 series, on distributions shipping kernel 2.6.38 and later, with fglrx version 11.5+

More input appreciated!

At least your link to the bug tracker lists a user with a Radeon HD4250.

I wonder if anyone that is experiencing the bug is running 32-bit Linux? It seems like everyone affected is running 64-bit. Maybe that's a coincidence, maybe not.

Nice catch, I didn't check the link after the original post.
And the couple of last replies throw the kernel version theory out of the window...
