Can you try with the latest ddx code from git and this drm patch: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2010-September/003531.html I applied the patch and updated xf86-radeon and mesa to latest git. No changes. upgraded to linux 2.6.36_rc3 (with or without the drm patch), no changes. Upgraded libdrm from 2.4.21-r1 to git, no change. Upgraded to xorg-server-1.8.2 (from 1.7.7), no change. I wanted to try enabling ColorTiling, but even with Option "ColorTiling" "on", Xorg.0.log says it's off. anything else I can try? Created attachment 38403 [details]
Yet another testcase
This is just another testcase run, taken
on an HD5850 using the latest git stuff
of drm/ddx(evergreen_accel)/mesa.
I also tried the attached patch above on
kernel 2.6.35.4 with no success.
I have lots of desktop corruptions + corrupted
mouse cursor as well, but i'll better create a
new bug report for that, right?
The patch fixes my lockups but corruption is still there. The corruption does indeed appear to originate in EVERGREENDownloadFromScreen. Adding Option "EXANoDownloadFromScreen" "on" to xorg.conf makes the corruption disappear at the expense of some operations being slow. Comment #5 (++) PS: Mouse cursor corruption is gone when setting Option "Renderaccel" in xorg.conf to "off". Is this worth a bug report or is it already known? using avivotool, available here: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~airlied/radeontool/ can you post the output (as root) of: ./avivotool regmatch 0x98fc Then try the following and see if any of these settings fix the cursor corruption: ./avivotool regset 0x98fc 0x00006420 ./avivotool regset 0x98fc 0x75316420 Original 0x98fc setting [output]avivotool regmatch 0x98fc 0x98fc 0x76543210 (1985229328) [/output] Yay, and i tried your settings. They both seem to fix the cursor corruption for me ;) Also fixes it for me. Original reg settings: 0x98fc 0x00003210 (12816) > ./avivotool regmatch 0x98fc 0x98fc 0x00003210 (12816) (both after a reboot from fglrx and a clean boot, both before and after starting X) confirmed that testcase is still not working. > Then try the following and see if any of these settings fix the cursor > corruption: > ./avivotool regset 0x98fc 0x00006420 testcase works > ./avivotool regset 0x98fc 0x75316420 testcase works No more visible artefacts in kde3 in 2d apps.

indeed it does, thanks a lot.

Works for me, too ;) Hi, I've applied the patch submitted above, at it solved a lot of corruption problems I had in KDE4 (before almost all the lower bar, the plasmoids and the mouse cursor where corrupted), the problem is that remains a corruption of the menu icons.

Please try to change your kde icon theme (and afterwards change it back to your favorite icon style) in systemsettings. This made those persistent corruption on my icons&desktop theme go away (i think this must a rendering cache problem or something like that). fixed in kernel. |

Created attachment 38392 [details] gcc testcase.c -lX11, run, watch testcase_out.ppm I noticed these symptoms: - corruption in screenshots taken with ImageMagick (import) - corruption in kde3 unless RenderAccel Off I've boiled ImageMagick down to a simple testcase (attached). A ErrorF() in the radeon driver told me that the corruption only happens in cases where EVERGREENDownloadFromScreen() is called - it's called in kde3 with RenderAccel On, it's never called with RenderAccel off. I cannot test against a non-evergreen EXA implementation, but since there are no related bug reports for older cards, it's probably evergreen only. Can confirm that the testcase works with fglrx and nvidia. using latest git from evergreen_accel branch, but the bug is present since the initial code-drop Radeon HD 5770 Xorg 1.7.7 2.6.35
