Toshiba Satellite A135 with Radeon Xpress 200M. LVDS and VGA both work independantly, but if both are enabled (clone or not), the VGA display goes to vertical blue and black blocks. ATI: 6.7.197 xserver: 1.4.0.90

Can you try again with 6.8.0 or preferably ati git master? If it doesn't work there it's probably a display fifo issue. I'll see what I can find out.
6.8.0 gave the same effect, although the cursor now shows up as a vertical white line. If the line is supposed to be one pixel wide, then from the width of it the display looks to be set at 640x480, despite xrandr claiming 1024x768.
I just discovered that rebooting fixes the problem until I close X. The second time X starts the problem reappears.
Can you provide register dumps with radeontool for the first time you start X and the second time? Please use the version available here (http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=users/airlied/radeontool.git;a=summary). (as root) ./radeontool regmatch '*'

Just as I suspected, it looks like the fifo regs: -RS480_UNK_e38 (0e38) 0x8000021b -RS480_UNK_e3c (0e3c) 0x000004d2 +RS480_UNK_e38 (0e38) 0x800001b0 +RS480_UNK_e3c (0e3c) 0x0000295c does the following help (when the screen is corrupt): radeontool regset RS480_UNK_e38 0x8000021b radeontool regset RS480_UNK_e3c 0x000004d2 you may want to do a dpms cycle after you change them (xset dpms force off).
No effect. I tried it from both an xterm in the corrupt X session and from the console before running X. > does the following help (when the screen is corrupt): > radeontool regset RS480_UNK_e38 0x8000021b > radeontool regset RS480_UNK_e3c 0x000004d2 > > you may want to do a dpms cycle after you change them (xset dpms force off).
I've just committed some changes that may fix this. Can you please test ati git master?
closing due to lack of feedback.
