I'm getting artifacts all over my screen with the xf86-video-ati driver.
Here is my configuration:
Radeon 4850
Gentoo AMD64
Linux 2.6.31-rc2 (also tried 2.6.30)
xf86-video-ati git (also tried 6.12.2)
xorg-server-1.6.1.902
mesa 7.5-rc4 (also tried 7.4.x)
Here are some images of the artifacting:
KDM:
KDE 4.2:
Openbox:
Is this a problem in the driver, or do I just have a really bad configuration? The fglrx driver did not have artifacting, so I know it's not the hardware.
If you need me to post any other information just ask. I'm not using that PC at the moment, so I'd have to fire it up.
But I'm thinking this is a driver issue, and I know some radeon devs browse here, so maybe I can get their attention on this issue.
