Could you please test Option "UseAtomBIOS" "true" in the device section? If that one works, please test Option "AtomBIOS" "pll=on" instead, and *please* tell us the outcome. No difference with either option. Attached X logs for both cases. Created attachment 25105 [details]

As Luc indicated on IRC, this is more likely a watermark issue. We will hopefully get docs about that in the near future (fingers crossed)... I just installed the driver from Git but with same problems. However, if you want to get out some debugs or anything else just let me know. Could you check if the problems exists under heavy CPU load? Some users report that when the CPU freq is scaled below e.g. 1GHz, they're seeing screen flickering. Hmm... Some improvement after setting the highest CPU frequency: # cpufreq-selector -f 190000 It still happens with both the website and the gnome-terminal but less, quite a lot less actually. Too bad though that the CPU fan just became audible :) Does this issue occur with the preferred ati driver (xf86-vide-ati)? If so, please move this to the Driver/Radeon component. Development of radeonhd has pretty much halted and development focus is on the ati driver. Please see http://www.x.org/wiki/radeonhd If the issue does not exist in the ati driver (or if there is no response to this message), this bug will be closed as WONTFIX unless someone contributes a patch. Closing due to lack of response. Please reopen and move to the Driver/Radeon component if this issue persists with xf86-video-ati |
