Small video describing the problem

This bug was reported on Ubuntu Launchpad at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1442378

  On a Compaq Presario 2500 laptop with an Ati IGP 345M graphics card,
  when connected to an external monitor ( SAMSUNG P2470HD - FullHD
  monitor/tv ) through a VGA analog connection, and using the latest
  open radeon driver on Lubuntu 14.04.2 with all the latest updates,
  when using the native resolution ( 1920x1080@60 ) of the monitor, and
  even at lower ones, except the lowest, there are small white lines
  flickering all over the display especially when there is movement in
  the windows or menus, and sometimes even small fragments of the window
  contents appear momentarily across different parts of the monitor.
  This does not happen when using a Windows XP installation on the same
  laptop with the same monitor and with the same D-Sub cable.

  I've also noticed recently that there is some banding noise only discernible
  on a solid background, as in a noisy cable transmission.

  I've tried to install the fglrx driver, but there seems to be none
  available for this card either on the AMD website nor on the
  additional drivers repository of lubuntu. Installing the fglrx driver,
  the card was never recognized. The command "sudo amdconfig --initial"
  returns the error message: "amdconfig: No supported adapters
  detected".

Does setting radeon.disp_priority=2 on the kernel command line in grub help?

Here are the files. I should add, though, that I was incorrect when I said that setting radeon.disp_priority=2 did not change anything as it actually made the problem worse, instead of just a few scan lines there were entire blocks of the screen and the small scan lines garbled up in the background whenever there was any action on screen.
