Comment 70 for bug 572521

Frank,

I tried to change this file /etc/modprobe.d/radeon-kms.conf on my laptop,
and the problem of colored lines disappeared, but the resolution was reduced
to 1024x768 (4:3), and the screen is not in decent shape, and the images are
a bit fuzzy. The real resloución machine is 1280x800 (16:10), and that is
when the screen resolution looks better. I had to return to change the file
to achieve this resolution, and when I change resolution the lines appear
again.

Sorry for the translation, my English still is not very good, and use google
translator.

Greetings .-

Dario Egea
