Description Xavier Bestel 2006-12-05 05:15:32 UTC 
Hi,

I'm using debian/sid, currently with Xorg 7.1, ati 6.6.3, kernel 2.6.18, libdrm
2.0.2, mesa 6.5.1. DRI is enabled, I'm using compiz on a radon 9600 XT. There
are rendering problems all over the place:
- xcreensaver doesn't work at all: even when I launch the settings
  and press "preview", I only have a black screen (GL or X11 hacks).
- totem-gstreamer can't play fullscreen if using Xv: the window
  seems to not be refreshed correctly, so it's not painted with the
  overlay color, so the video displays only partially or not at all.
- eog doesn't work well fullscreen (displays only partially, looks
  like the same problem as totem).
- evince and epiphany sometimes flicker a lot when fullscreen.

These problems disappear when I replace compiz with e.g. metacity.


Here is an excerpt of my config file:

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "ATI Radeon 9600XT"
        Driver          "radeon"
        VendorName      "ATI"
        Option          "accel"
        Option          "AccelMethod"           "xaa"
        Option          "RenderAccel"           "true"
        Option          "EnablePageFlip"        "true"
        Option          "ColorTiling"           "true"
        Option          "AccelDFS"              "true"
        Option          "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps"
        Option          "GARTSize"              "64"
        Option          "DDCMode"               "true"
EndSection

This might be at least partly fixed in xserver and xf86-video-ati git, which
together draw the colour key directly into the specific drawable instead of
always on the root window, which interacts badly with compositing managers.

Does not enabling either of these make any difference?

Disabling both does not help.
