on Radeon Mobility 7500, in an IBM T30 Thinkpad, 1024x768 LCD panel, if VGA output is connected to RGB monitor with NTSC Interlaced timings, enabling the output causes the LCD display to "scramble" with rectangular tiles. Putting Option "ColorTiling" "false" in xorg.conf prevents this issue. A recent Git commit did not resolve the issue. to reproduce (doesn't require a monitor - no DDC is present): xrandr --newmode NTSCi 14.318 768 784 848 910 483 484 492 525 Interlace -VSync -HSync xrandr --addmode VGA-0 NTSCi xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode NTSCi switching VGA-0 to a non-interlaced mode (NTSCp) restores the LCD display.
Is this still an issue for you with a newer version of xserver?
