I have a Radeon 4850, and I get artifacts all over the screen in X.
I'm using Gentoo Linux with xf86-video-ati git (also tried 6.12.2), xorg
1.6.1.902, mesa 7.5rc4, and linux 2.6.31 rc2 (also tried 2.6.30)
I don't know if this is a bug in the radeon driver, or if I don't have
things configured
Would using the radeon-rewrite branch of mesa actually fix this? AFAIK,
this isn't a 3D/OpenGL problem. Whenever Xorg is running it happens,
including 2D.
Oh, and I am using EXA. Are there any other AccelMethods like XAA?
And it isn't the hardware because it worked fine with fglrx.
Nope, this happens in KDM, KDE 4.2, and in a default config of Openbox.
Sorry if these images are a bit large, but it makes it a bit easier to see
the artifacts.
