Bug 82473

Please attach your dmesg and xorg logs directly to the bug.  Is this a regression?  If so when was it last working?  Can you get a picture of the screen?  Does using a non-HDMI (e.g., DVI) connector help?  Does booting with radeon.audio=0 on the kernel command line in grub help?

Xorg log

This has never worked. The HW works fine with older kernels and proprietary drivers. Tried with VGA connector, and with with the radeon.audio=0 without change in the behavior.

Which older kernels worked?  Can you bisect?

3.10.20, but like said it's with proprietary drivers. OpenELEC "distro" to be exact.

Just to be clear is it a problem specifically with HDMI or using any display?  Also make sure you fully uninstalled fglrx.  It overwrites some of the libs on your system with it's own versions.  You can also try disabling acceleration.  Add:
Option "NoAccel" "true"
to the device section of your xorg.conf

It's a problem using any connector, VGA being another one I've tried. I did the installation by these instructions to the point, so I shouldn't have fglrx installed (http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=174854).
I can try without acceleration if that's fruitful for debugging, but that's not a useful end result for me.

Yes, it's useful for debugging.

Disabling acceleration boots fine, and I get graphics as expected.

What version of mesa are you using?  Does changing the mesa version help?

Sorry, I'm bit of a noob here, but how do you replace mesa with an earlier version?

mesa 10.3

different kind of wrong display

Does disabling tiling help?  Add:
	Option "ColorTiling" "false"
	Option "ColorTiling2D" "false"
To the device section of your xorg config.

Also does the combination of a newer kernel with mesa 10.3 help?

Does not help. I get back to the orig. striped screen. Even after removing the new options from xorg.conf.

Does not. Same results with kernel 3.16 and mesa 10.3.
