Hi Fiz, it sounds like you did everything correctly. I also don't think it's a kernel problem because the kernel module does very little at the moment. However, the error you describe sounds new to me. I'm not sure if we had any testers on ProSavage KN133 so far. I'm running the driver successfully on a ProSavageDDR (KN266). I thought these chips were very similar, except for the memory bandwidth.
I'm not sure I understood the problem description correctly. The cursor, is it like random noise in a 64x64 pixel block that changes once or more often every second? Then my guess is that it's a problem with the Command Overflow Buffer (COB). If it's not setup correctly then the hardware cursor is the first thing that is corrupted. We had this effect before, but 3D rendering was never affected by it otherwise. Could you make a screenshot (e.g. of glxgears) and upload it somewhere, so we get a better picture what's wrong? In the meantime you can try the option DisableCOB in XF86Config. Add this in your Device section: Option "DisableCOB" "true" That disables the COB altogether. If that fixes it then we'll have to find out how the COB is setup correctly on your version of the Savage chip.
