Bug#682099: xserver-xorg-video-ati: EXAPixmaps=On screen tearing at high resolution under certain configurations

2012-10-26 Thread James Robertson 
 Can you try a newer kernel?  3.6 or 3.7?  That may help with the
 modesettings.  As for the acceleration, corruption, you might try a
 newer version of mesa.

I cheated a little and tried the latest aptosid kernel
linux-image-aptosid-amd64_3.6-12_amd64  - same screen corruption
issues.

I followed some documentation and started to compile and install the
latest mesa on Sid...  I gave up after a few hours and as a test
installed Arch as it has a new Kernel 3.6.3-1 and the latest Mesa
9.0-1 - Still had screen corruption issues.

Bad for a Debian bug report, sorry about that but I was getting a bit
frustrated.

I can't help but think it's something to do with the monitors.  I
mean, why would a different model monitor (Benq) that has native
1920x1080 work fine when used paired with one of my AOC's?  But using
the 2 identical model AOC's causes the problem?

I am going to try fglrx on Arch for a test.

Bug#683242: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau 1.0.3 seems better

2012-10-26 Thread Jonathan McDowell 
Just as an extra data point (and I'm not sure this is the only bug this
is appropriate for as there are several cairo2/nouveau related bugs) I
recently built an xserver-xorg-video-nouveau based off the 1.0.3
upstream release and have found it to significantly improve things on my
Quadro 2000M [GF106]. There are several EXA related fixed since 1.0.2.
