Description Johannes Hessellund 2006-07-04 11:46:48 UTC 
During some operations the grafic gets garbled.

Ex: Everytime I bush the back button on firefox it is garbled on mouse-release.
After I loose focus and returns its okay again.

Ex2: Sound juicer. Resizing makes buttons look garbled.

Ex3: Ubuntu Update-manager garbled selection, after scroll. Happens only once in
a while.

I an running a Ubuntu Dapper with latest updates on thinkpad T42 with Radeon 7500.

Some say this might be Cairo related?
Also filed bug on Ubuntu's launchpad which also contains screenshots of the problem.

First of all, note that the xf86-video-ati release that came with X.Org 7.0 was
quite buggy. Please try current xf86-video-ati git (ati-1-0-branch for X.Org
7.0) if you can.

That said, please attach (as opposed to paste) the full config and log files.
Also, do some of the options mentioned in the downstream bug reports make a
difference? E.g.

    Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"
    Option "RenderAccel" "off"

Did Michaels suggestion help?
Comment 3 Johannes Hessellund 2006-07-31 10:39:49 UTC 
    Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"
    Option "RenderAccel" "off"

Did not help anything.
I think the radeon driver provided by Ubuntu is equal to version 6.5.8 of the
radeon.
I am not able to check out and compile by myself right now!

Does not enabling any or all of the options "AGPMode", "AGPFastWrite",
"EnableDepthMoves" and "EnablePageFlip" fix this?
Comment 7 Dave Airlie 2006-09-11 22:53:38 UTC 
I've fixed this on the ati-1-0-branch, I haven't had time to do a proper fix,
for main ati driver, but I might just stick the workaround in for now until
someone codes a correct fix..
