Artifacts on Radeon 4850
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 correctly. I'm thinking it's a bug in the driver itself; since X works correctly. If it matters at all, according to Xorg.0.log r600_dri.so failed to load. (EE) AIGLX error: dlopen of /usr/lib64/dri/r600_dri.so failed (/usr/lib64/dri/r600_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory) (EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering If any more information is needed, just ask; I didn't want to send a bunch of unneeded crap.

Re: Artifacts on Radeon 4850
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. ___ xorg mailing list xorg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
Re: Artifacts on Radeon 4850
A screenshot or something might help. But this is probably not related to mesa, unless you are running compiz or something like that. ___ xorg mailing list xorg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg

If it's happening with 2D, it's not a problem with Mesa anyway -- unless you're using compiz, then it may be. Oh, and I am using EXA. Are there any other AccelMethods like XAA?

Does dmesg or Xorg.0.log show anything interesting when the corruption happens? What kind of corruption are you seeing?

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.

If your question is actually, XAA for r600+? then the answer is never. XAA is just not a good fit for these cards. Additionally, XAA is kind of on the way out, and with recent EXA improvements, there's really no reason to stick with it. ~ C. ___ xorg mailing list xorg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
