I've recently install latest Xorg cvs (HEAD), in my gentoo. All went well, and worked fine. Then i decide to install the lastest CVS snapshot of drm module (from dri.feedesktop.org/snapshots). And since that time my display appear totaly borked, corrupted. I have some images, but they don't reflect half of what's happening, the screen appears to be overlayed over and over. I have to remember by heart where is ksnapshot to take the shots. The fact of having DRI enable or not doesn't do anything, it's all the same. Some images in DRI enable http://pwp.netcabo.pt/0448311801/foto_dri.png DRI disable http://pwp.netcabo.pt/0448311801/foto_nodri.png Xorg Log http://pwp.netcabo.pt/0448311801/Xorg.log Dmesg http://pwp.netcabo.pt/0448311801/dmesg.txt xorg.conf http://pwp.netcabo.pt/0448311801/xorg.txt
this is an issue with color tiling, which just doesn't (yet at least) happen to work on r300 and newer chips. You could disable it manually (Option "ColorTiling" "off") or wait until I commit a fix (tomorrow).
ah why wait so long. Should be fixed in cvs. btw the pics you have are interesting, they show that definitely not all is wrong with color tiling on r300 (otherwise you wouldn't have got a correct background pic). Actually, this wasn't a drm fault, but ddx. The only reason you experienced it when updating the drm module and not before when updating ddx is because color tiling needs a new drm to work (if dri is enabled), otherwise it will get disabled anyway.
Ya, you are right, Colortiling off, resolved the issue. One more thing, with the latest drm, with the driver radeon (ofcorse with Colortilinf off), i get +254 fps (730fps) on glxgears, (although the wheel almost don't seem rotate. I just hope R300 project become more stable :)
