Eye of gnome image bug with ATI graphic driver

Question

I just installed the ATI driver for my Ubuntu 11.10. After some annoying bugs and errors it works for now. But there is one most stupid bug. Whenever I open a picture in the default image viewer (eye of gnome EOG) it shows me an overexposed picture.

Example with EOG:

enter image description here

Example how it should be:

screenshot How can I fix this?

Update
Driver I used was 8.911-111025a-128237C-ATI with Catalyst 11.11. I installed the driver via jockey and used the driver released with Ubuntu because the post-release driver fails everytime.

Update 2
Now I have latest updates installed from ATI download page. Everything works nice except the described view bug.

It's still the same bug with Ubuntu 12.04. I also reinstalled EOG.

Now I have Catalyst 12.4 but the problem still remains. Any other ideas? sorry for the late response, I had some IT trouble with broken hard disks and more — thonixx, Apr 26 '12 at 23:15
This question should instead be filed as a bug report, and as such is off-topic, thanks! Instructions on filing a bug report are here. — jrg, Jun 12 '12 at 16:23

The same experience here. There is a weird workaround: in preference, you could select the color Black as the custom background color. Somehow this background color is mixed with the picture itself.
