Description Torsten Krah 2010-10-19 01:23:31 UTC
Hi,

got a 

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV516 [Radeon
X1300/X1550 Series]

card and tried to use KMS and radeon since its in the mainline tree but got no
luck yet (using ubuntu maverick Xorg 7.5 + radeon 6.13.x).

In X Screen does have some black lines running over the screen every time -
reading some text on white background is really hard because of these black
lines running through the screen everytime, hope you know what i mean.
This does happen with and without using KMS.

The only configuration which is usable in terms of you can do your work >1 hour
is to disable KMS and using the "old" radeonhd driver (git tree) - which does work fine and without those "glitches".
Any help or information i can provide to make radeon "work" like radeonhd to get rid of those "black" lines running over the screen causing headaches?

You don't need to file bugs on both kernel.org and freedesktop.org.  Either one is fine.  See my comments on https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20752
