The dell insipron 1721 has an on-board X1270 (RS690) with configurable memory size (Bios A07). There is 64 MB on the Graphics card. Additional memory is used from the internal DDR2 RAM. The radeonhd driver only works fine when 64 MB RAM is assigned. This setting results in 128 MB memory for the video driver (64 MB on-board, 64 from Memory). Other ram values result in a corrupted screen and cursor (X does not crash).
Does the following option in the device section of your config help: Option "UnverifiedFeatures" "False"
In fact I was running X11 server 7.3 (not 7.4). Yesterday I decided to upgrade X-server to version 7.4 (using the XORG repository for opensuse 11.0) and upgraded to the latest version of the radeonhd driver. Now unfortunately I cannot longer reproduce the error anymore. Question is now what caused this behavior,

I neither know which version of the driver was used before nor can I check if if the side port memory was detected correctly. I assume the upgrade also got you a new radeonhd driver, in which your problem might already be fixed. I will therefore close the ticket for now. Should the problem reoccur please attach a logfile generated with the '-logverbose 7' command line option.
