Created attachment 18422 [details] EXA image rendering problem I had problems with playing videos on my new Fedora 9 desktop as described in downstream Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=445395 The solution was to enable EXA instead of XAA. However, this uncovered the bug I'm reporting. Basically, parts of images don't show up in Firefox and elsewhere (a light gray rectangle is rendered in its place). Screenshot: See the attachment. Configuration file: See the attachment Log file: See the attachment Versions of applicable components: xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.8.0-14.fc9.i386 xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.4.99.905-2.20080702.fc9.i386

Does Option "RenderAccel" "off" work around the problem?
No, the problem persists. I must add that images are sometimes displayed for a tenth of a second and then they become gray again. Also, images are usually properly displayed in Firefox when less that half of their canvas is visible on display. Example: images of movie trailers in the 3rd row of the attached screenshot.
(In reply to comment #4) > No, the problem persists. Did you verify in the log file that the option took effect as intended? What about Option "AccelDFS" "off"? Does disabling compositing have any effect on the problem?

I've tried this option and it didn't fix the problem, however, computer became really slow with this option "off" and after a few minutes it completely froze. Only the mouse pointer was still moving and I had to do a hard reset. > Does disabling compositing have any effect on the problem? You mean Option "Composite" "Disable"? I tried that and the result was the same. BTW, computer also froze with my latest xorg.conf with compositing disabled and AccelDFS on while I was writing this comment.

Add the following to your config: Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "Disable" EndSection Or disable desktop effects (compiz, etc.).
(In reply to comment #9) > Add the following to your config: > > Section "Extensions" > Option "Composite" "Disable" > EndSection I did that and it doesn't help. For details see the attached xorg.conf. The only thing that helps is to use XAA instead of EXA.
Today I updated the xorg-x11-drv-ati package to the one in Fedora Updates Testing repository and the problem went away. Version of the new package, which works is: xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.8.0-19.fc9.i386 If anyone wants to persue the difference between the old and new driver version, which fixed this bug, I'll be glad to help. Else, this bug is fixed for me.
