Description Wolfgang Rupprecht 2005-02-17 20:35:10 UTC

Observed on an Asus-built ATI Radeon 9200se w. 128Megs under
openbsd-current/amd64 on an Asus k8v-se-d.

When switching screens via Alt-Ctl-Fn the frame-buffer displays a
mangled version of what was last displayed on the X screen.  Typing
blind does work, so this is a display-only problem.

This system has been running the xorg releases for a while. Up to now
the frame buffer was a Matrox-g550/agp, which worked fine.  I'm
assuming this is a radeon driver related problem (or perhaps a hardware problem
related to the radeon card).

Comment 1 Wolfgang Rupprecht 2005-04-05 10:47:21 UTC

observed on: X Window System Version 6.8.2 / Release Date: 9 February 2005
(openbsd-current 2005/04/04)

I just noticed that killing the X server from xdm with ctl-<bs> causes 
this to happen.  Might there be some state that Xorg isn't restoring when
it exits?
