    A stab in the dark, have you tried adding
    Code:
    Option "ColorTiling" "on"
    to your xorg.conf?

      I had the same problem, but solved it with a patch from the dri-devel mailing list (http://lists.freedesktop.org/archive...st/002956.html)

        i recall it being "AllowColorTiling" "true" according to the source-code.

          same problem for me (rv620 chipset)

          kernel 2.6.36-rc1 , last mesa-git,drm-git, xf86-ati-git.

          last month, it was working with manual patch on 2.6.35. (no need to add colortiling on in xorg.conf).

            You need the xorg option to enable tiling for r6xx+. Also there's a bug in the current kernel that got added when hiz support was added. It's fixed in this patch:

            which will make it's way upstream soon.

                grep Tiling /usr/local/var/log/Xorg.0.log
                [ 28.619] (**) RADEON(0): Option "ColorTiling" "1"
                [ 28.619] (II) RADEON(0): KMS Color Tiling: enabled
                [ 28.773] (WW) RADEON(0): Option "AllowColorTiling" is not used

                works for me too now with the break in 2.6.36-rc2

                  Should there be any good reasons for not using tiling currently with r6xx/r7xx if you're not using Gallium driver?
