See attached dmesg. Starting X also works, no errors reported in attached Xorg.0.log, but a lot of graphical corruption exists. For instance, all text is unreadable, and there are three transparent red bars less than 100px wide in the middle of the screen.

Can you attach a screenshot?
Created attachment 28488 [details] Screenshot of corruption I grabbed the screenshot with xwd, but it is not representative of how the corruption actually appears on screen. For instance - in the screenshot, the background is garbage, but on the screen, it's just black (which I think is normal) - text appears in the screenshot, whereas no text appears on the screen - the borders are corrupted in the screenshot, but they are drawn file on the screen The three red lines mentioned before turned out to be the totally-corrupted cursor. Turning on SWcursor causes the cursor to not be drawn at all. Option "EXANoComposite" "true" causes all text on the xdm login screen to not be drawn. Option "EXANoUploadToScreen" "false" causes more corruption. Dave suggested on IRC last night that it may be either a cache problem or an oversight with page sizes. Notes: (1) Page size on Alpha is 8K. (2) Alpha is extremely relaxed with memory ordering (see Documentation/memory-barriers.txt in the kernel), and (3) Alpha is entirely cache coherent by design.
Additionally, glxinfo reports that hardware acceleration via DRI2 is functional. glxgears renders perfectly at between 350~500 FPS.

Sounds like maybe there's a problem with the CRTC palette, in addition to incorrect rendering. > Notes: (1) Page size on Alpha is 8K. That sounds like a likely lead - there's probably lots of places which assume 4K.
Created attachment 33205 [details] Xorg.0.log X log showing nothing interesting...
Created attachment 33206 [details] Screenshot of corruption As you can see, the corruption has gotten better. That is, it's not as bad as it was. X is still dead. The hw cursor is a corrupted block in the middle of the screen that doesn't move at all. Windows don't get focus. No keyboard response. I checked /proc/cpuinfo before and after running startx. There were 15 kernel unaligned accesses before (almost undoubtedly from drm/radeon/kms) and 63 after. This needs some serious attention, but I guess is a separate issue. Using mesa, libdrm, xf86-video-ati, xserver from git, and drm-radeon-testing.
Does it work if you start X with the NoAccel option set to true?
Created attachment 33223 [details] Screenshot with NoAccel true With Option "NoAccel" "true" the screen is still horribly corrupted, but the screenshot taken with xwd shows zero corruption. X appears totally unresponsive to mouse/keyboard.
Screenshots here: http://mattst88.com/alpha-x11/ Without NoAccel, screenshot and screen look screwy (and identical?) With NoAccel, screenshot looks normal, but only corrupted cursor appears on screen. XAA looks same as without NoAccel. SWcursor causes no cursor to be drawn on the screen. Got mouse working by killing off most of xorg.conf.

Just trying to get the patch's author to learn git and send it himself before I do it for him. :)
Review of attachment 46784 [details] [review]: Won't the DRM core changes break UMS? The radeon TTM changes also seem rather hackish, might be better to handle this more explicitly in radeon or possibly even TTM itself. Would probably be a good idea to make sure Thomas Hellström is in the loop as well for reviewing this.
This was fixed almost a year ago in commit ffb57c4b8612c31204b06713770f6df4b8a94e4f. Whoops. :)
