Created attachment 17919 [details] [review] Xorg.0.log after the crash When using the xorg radeon driver on my ATI Radeon Mobility x1400 I have several strange misbehaviours of the mouse pointer: 1. There are areas on the screen where the mouse pointer begins to flicker if you move it over. These areas seem are over the full vertical length of both screens and in a distance of ca. 260 pixels. This bug is can be reproduced on my machine everytime I use it in dual screen mode (it disappears in single screen mode). 2. Also sometimes the mouse pointer disappears when moving it between both heads and got replaced by a scrambled or semi-transparent line. A similar bug was also inside FGLRX. It is a little bit hard to reproduce this bug. The problem is, it is hard to recover the mouse pointer (only suspend-2-disk or a complete restart helps) - and sometimes the X server hangs when this problem appears. The strange thing in this situation is, that the mouse can be moved, but the keyboard and the video output freezes. I've attached a Xorg.0.log-file which shows the following debugging messages appearing after that problem: [mi] EQ overflowing. The server is probably stuck in an infinite loop. [mi] mieqEnequeue: out-of-order valuator event; dropping.

I have the same behaviour on a MacBook Pro. Mouse flicker and the same crashes. X1600 Mobile Xserver 1.5, ati or radeonhd driver from git. kernel 2.6.27 git x86
Created attachment 19017 [details] flickering mouse pointer
Flickering is on primary and external screen with ati/radeon driver. The mouse pointer jumps from one to the other screen. With the radeonhd driver only the primary screen have the flickering mouse and it looks a bit different.
Please try ati from git and try adjusting the "DisplayPriority" option. see the radeon man page for more info.
AUTO, BIOS and HIGH options to "DisplayPriority" have no influence to the flickering.
This is exactly the same problem, that I reported originally. Unfortunately I have no access to an external monitor for the next month, to do further testing...
I have the same mouse flickering problem for some months on ATI Technologies Inc M56P [Radeon Mobility X1600]. Using 38aa450fce6a91b35c191fd07112490a62cc29c6 from git. No crashes fortunately.
Setting DisplayPriority to HIGH does not help to me either. I'm using the latest driver version from git (d82f2938f69402c641a1c8362fdc513419b27659).
Setting DisplayPriority to high and using the latest GIT version also doesn't change my problem. I have still a flickering mouse pointer and still sometimes the mouse pointer get scrambled and the X server got partially locked with the messages from the attached Xorg.0.log.
I have the exact same problem on an ATI Radeon Mobility x1300. I see the flickering on the external VGA monitor, which is an Acer AL1916W. I can provide any necessary diagnostic info for fixing this bug.
The pointer flickering problem is still present in xserver-xorg-video-radeon 1:6.10.0-1 (debian experimental).
Yet another "me too". My hardware is a X1650 with 2 DVI-connected LCDs -- 1280x1024 and 1680x1050. I see the same problem with the radeonhd driver, BTW.
Same here, on X1650, two LCDs, radeon driver. I think problem goes away with SWCursor enabled, but unfortunately SWCursor causes X to crash when switching vt's.
Apologies for double post. Are this, http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19215 , and http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13405 duplicates?
