Yeah, it's a Radeon 7500M, which has been well supported by opensource drivers
for some time.

RE: comment #1, here's why I think it's a gnome-screensaver problem. If I
apt-get install xscreensaver, killall gnome-screensaver, xscreensaver-demo, and
select the same hack, when I lock the screen, it displays perfectly. When I
apt-get install gnome-screensaver, killall xscreensaver, gnome-screensaver, and
lock the screen, it flicker really badly.

I believe xscreensaver does some work to make sure the images are loaded the
right way, so that may be that's where the difference is. If I'm not mistaken,
my display has a fairly small texture size limit, so perhaps xscreensaver
ensures that the images are scaled before turning them in to textures. Maybe
gnome-screensaver just turns the jpegs into textures without any extra processing?
