video describes it best. With radeon driver these are more massive...its ok with rhd but it is annoying. From time to time, these gets more massive and a switch to console and back clean it up...its worse without exa... System setup, Kernel 2.6.30.4 drm.ko, radeon.ko, gentoo x11 overlay (everything from git). Kernel 2.6.31-rc5 doesnt fix the problem.... I hope, someone has an idea...thx for the great work, i have ditched an nvidia card for this one.... :)

Can you post a screenshot? I'm having issues playing back the videos.
vidz are h264, mplayer works fine...if not, here are some pictures... http://x17.eu/img_0173.jpg http://x17.eu/img_0174.jpg http://x17.eu/img_0175.jpg http://x17.eu/img_0176.jpg
Standard watermark issues. The scanout linebuffer runs empty because its priority is too low. It's the first time I see this on RV710, though, so far I only have a RS690 that is exhibiting these issues. What makes me wonder is that radeon is worse, because AFAIK the radeon driver has some code for setting this up, while radeonhd doesn't have it yet.
ok, what can i do? how can i help?
(In reply to comment #7) > ok, what can i do? how can i help? > Have you tried the radeon driver from git master (6.12.x does not have this)? As Matthias said, that version of the driver does have basic watermark setup which may alleviate the problem.

Does disabling acceleration "fix" it?

(In reply to comment #16) > What mode does vesa pick? Does using a lower res mode also help on radeon or > radeonhd? vesa picked 1280x1024, setting this mode with "xrandr --output DVI-I_2/digital --mode 1280x1024" solves the glitches (RHD)...as soon as i switch back to 1680x1050 they appear again...
it got worse with latest Xorg git...is this a sign, that this isn't a graphic driver issue?
(In reply to comment #18) > it got worse with latest Xorg git...is this a sign, that this isn't a graphic > driver issue? hmm, this isn't consistent...after testing a bit, using radeon and radeonhd, restarting X its the same amount of distortions as usual...i have attached dmesg output with mtrr and drm messages...

Does this issue occur with the preferred ati driver (xf86-vide-ati)? If so, please move this to the Driver/Radeon component. Development of radeonhd has pretty much halted and development focus is on the ati driver. Please see http://www.x.org/wiki/radeonhd If the issue does not exist in the ati driver (or if there is no response to this message), this bug will be closed as WONTFIX unless someone contributes a patch.
Closing due to lack of response. Please reopen and move to the Driver/Radeon component if this issue persists with xf86-video-ati
