Xorg log

Xorg log reports: "(EE) RADEON(0): Unable to reserve offscreen area for back buffer, you might experience screen corruption". I notice indeed some screen corruption in the right area of my screen. One week ago I saw them only with exa enabled in my xorg.conf. 

I'm using the xorg edgers packages of 06-01-2008 on ubuntu hardy.

Sorry, I just realised I used the normal X server last week instead of git. But that doesn't change the issue.

Setting XaanOffSceenpixmaps to true solves it.

my current xorg.cong

Currently I expereince this bug always when I enable exa: The screen flickers at the whole right in some cases:
* switching from workspace
* scrolling in a non-maximized window
* running gtkperf
* and more..
I use compiz as window manager and have a X1300 card.

Can you try with xf86-video-ati from git and add the following option to the device section of your config:
Option "DisplayPriority" "HIGH"
Comment 4 Allart Kooiman 2008-08-07 11:12:01 UTC
That fixes the issue!

Using:
drm modules from 2008 08 03
xserver-xorg-video-ati: from xorg edgers version git20080802
