lspci output (graphics only)

After some uptime (upwards of an hour so far), I get different kinds of display corruption on a laptop with a Radeon x1400.

Currently, I'm looking at a somewhat grainy picture which looks like a badly dithered low-colour version of the screen content. There are noticeable vertical stripes, and the whole image is shimmering. The system is working fine otherwise.

In an earlier instance, I had a pulsating green gradient covering the bottom of the screen. In addition, screen response was slow, like the proper content was only updating evers second or so.

The effect does not show in screenshots.

This is on a Debian-built 2.6.34 686 kernel, running X.org 1.7.7 and the "radeon" driver 6.13.0, libdrm2 2.4.21 from Debian packages.

I'm attaching lspci output for the card, as well as dmesg and the Xorg.log from the currently "broken" running system.

It's still there in the 2.6.35 kernel.

I noticed the following messages in dmesg when waking up from suspend-to-RAM:

it's a very long time I'm wrestling with the very same issue with my mobility x1400. Today I found a workaround to did problem. I'm in kernel 3.2 of LMDE. 

To solve this problem I forced my GPU into the maximum compatibility 3D acceleration mode with this simple xorg.conf

Section "Device"
	Identifier			"Radeon"
	Driver				"radeon"

	Option "EXAPixmaps"		"off"
	Option "AccelDFS"		"off"
	Option "MigrationHeuristic"	"greedy"
EndSection

I don't think it's the very same issue:

 
>     Option "EXAPixmaps"        "off"

This is a very big hammer which basically prevents 2D acceleration from occuring in most cases, so it doesn't narrow down your problem very much unfortunately.

Moreover, the original report here mentioned 'The effect does not show in screenshots', which means this option can't really work around it. So your problem is probably not exactly the same and should be tracked elsewhere.

>     Option "MigrationHeuristic"    "greedy"

These options don't have any effect with KMS.
