I've recently added in a GeForce 8400GS in my system with an existing Radeon HD4670. Before adding in the GeForce 8400GS, everything was fine.... and now there are vertical stripes. The xf86-video-ati driver does not exhibit this corruption. The display attached to the GeForce shows no corruption. I am attaching my xorg.conf (pardon the mess) and the log file. I am also attaching a picture taken with my digital camera of the display.

Sorry to say but my two MSI 4870 cards machine can run a i386 OS X-window but not a amd64 OS.Even the older 1.2.3 version driver seem to display but will not allow me to add or open a window or to close down correctly under the amd64 OS. Is this the terminal driver or the windowing OS? ( Hint The AMD64 was working under the 1.2.3 version, but no more. Every thing has been up and down dated till I am sick of it all.)

It's the first time I hear that there are issues with x86_64 - and this is unrelated. So please open a different bug about this.

Sounds like a posting problem, Egbert has some ideas about it. Can you verify whether this issue goes away if you swap the two cards and/or change the primary card in the BIOS (if you can select anything there)?

(This was my fault, I forgot to mention this.) I don't want to end up as a computer stupidity story. (I only have one PCI-E x16 slot on this motherboard.) I did attempt to switch which got initialized first in the BIOS, but that did not help matters one bit.
I took a closer look at how my display was corrupted, and probably a better description is like the entire display was stretched over a larger area, and the vertical stripes are like stretch marks on a pregnant woman. It's like, there will be vertical areas where everything looks okay, and as I mouse horizontally, you see can see the stripes where things are corrupted. Also, when X starts up, the X cursor is off center even though I didn't move my mouse one iota.
Oh, one last thing.... I just got my x86 Gentoo installation updated to the point where I can compile the the driver (took 2 days to get everything compiled), and it's exhibiting the exact same corruption, so this is not limited to AMD64.
Does this issue occur with the preferred ati driver (xf86-vide-ati)? If so, please move this to the Driver/Radeon component. Development of radeonhd has pretty much halted and development focus is on the ati driver. Please see http://www.x.org/wiki/radeonhd If the issue does not exist in the ati driver (or if there is no response to this message), this bug will be closed as WONTFIX unless someone contributes a patch.
Closing due to lack of response. Please reopen and move to the Driver/Radeon component if this issue persists with xf86-video-ati
