Description Adam Reichold 2012-12-21 21:06:54 UTC

Since updating from version 6.4.16 to 7.0.0, I have to explicitly disable ColorTiling2D in xorg.conf, otherwise the output is completely garbled (everything seems to be compressed into a small rectangle in the lower right corner of the screen) and the system freezes (the screen is refreshing periodically as it does when the GPU stalls). Operation seems to be normal using the older driver or disabling ColorTiling2D.

The hardware is "00:01.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI BeaverCreek [Radeon HD 6530D] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])" being part of an AMD A6-3500 APU.

The X server reports this as "Chipset: "SUMO" (ChipID = 0x964a)". The X server version is 1.13.1, libdrm version is 2.4.40. The X server's log file does not contain any warnings or errors from the driver.

The kernel version is "3.6.10-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT x86_64 GNU/Linux".
