Bug#499206: xserver-xorg-video-radeon: R580 + EXA = screen flicker
Hi Zack, Zack Weinberg za...@panix.com (06/03/2010): That computer is off right now, so I'm not sure exactly what version of the driver I have on it - whatever's current in unstable. Anyway, I haven't seen most of the problems in some time, but the window boundaries wiggle problem is still there. is that still an issue with an up-to-date sid X stack? Since you're using radeon, make sure you upgrade xserver-xorg-core to ≥ 2:1.9.4-3. KiBi. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Once again y'all have delayed doing anything about an X server bug so long that I no longer have the hardware that was causing the problem. :-( zw On Mon, Feb 21, 2011 at 9:33 AM, Cyril Brulebois k...@debian.org wrote: Hi Zack, Zack Weinberg za...@panix.com (06/03/2010): That computer is off right now, so I'm not sure exactly what version of the driver I have on it - whatever's current in unstable.

That computer is off right now, so I'm not sure exactly what version of the driver I have on it - whatever's current in unstable. Anyway, I haven't seen most of the problems in some time, but the window boundaries wiggle problem is still there. It's not nearly as bad as it used to be, but I can reliably reproduce it by placing a window so that part of it shows on each monitor. It sometimes also happens with windows that are entirely on one monitor, depending on what's showing in the window (certain web pages reliably do it, e.g. http://tinderbox.mozilla.org/Firefox/ ). In this case, moving the window a few pixels horizontally often makes it stop. zw -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-x-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

The effect appears only at the edges but seems to depend on what is drawn in the window: a boring gnome-terminal doesn't do it, but OO.o calc did it a lot. - Occasionally the entire display goes to black or garbage for a split second. None of these phenomena occur if I drop back to XAA. The problem *might* depend on having both of the card's DVI outputs active simultaneously; I didn't try EXA until after I got the second monitor. The most recent X server log file below is with XAA active. Below that is a log with EXA active. This is very likely related to multiple monitors. Please try EXA with one monitor and see if you still have the same problem. Alex -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Please try EXA with one monitor and see if you still have the same problem. Attempting to turn one display off with e.g. 'xrandr --output DVI-1 --off' causes both displays to lose signal and the X server to go catatonic. It's still running, but all clients hang; strace shows it receiving and dismissing an endless series of SIGALARMs, and it won't respond to anything short of kill -9. zw -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
