Radeon driver display corruption

25-03-09 updated radeon driver to 6.12.2, after restarting x, I experienced display corruption mainly on components like the textbox , radio button and others.
Changed driver to radeonhd as a temporary workaround, probably will try to downgrade later.
Attached dmesg, lspci with -vv , xorg.0.log , xorg.conf using -logverbose 7 and screenshot of the black bars.

Did you update to release 6.12.2 or build the driver from git?  If you built from git, I think this bug has already been fixed.

Ok.. built from git,, problem is fixed.... but i noticed that my driver is slower than before,, the git version radeon driver archived aprox. 170 fps (glxgears) on my card, while the yum version from fedora reached aprox. 1000 fps (glxgears).

is there an flag to build for performance ?
I used autogen then configure and make install without editing anything....

thx

Check your log and make sure the DRI is enabled.  3D is accelerated by mesa, not the ddx.
