Created attachment 69649 [details] Xorg.0.log Tested today released xf86-video-ati 7.0 and, unfortunately, it doesn't support properly Radeon HD 5450. The problems turned up while trying to run some "more graphically demanding" application, say: game, for instance. For example: running FooBillard noticed, that most of the time the game window was OK, but attempt to move it results in garbage within the game window. While trying to run "CG Madness" the situation was much worse: the entire screen started to blink strange way, there was no other option, than to leave graphics with Control-Alt-Backspace. On the text console there were messages: radeon: The kernel rejected CS, see dmesg for more information. radeon: The kernel rejected CS, see dmesg for more information. radeon: The kernel rejected CS, see dmesg for more information. radeon: The kernel rejected CS, see dmesg for more information. radeon: The kernel rejected CS, see dmesg for more information. radeon: The kernel rejected CS, see dmesg for more information. radeon: The kernel rejected CS, see dmesg for more information. radeon: The kernel rejected CS, see dmesg for more information.

I was testing the driver using newest Slackware 14.0, with libdrm 2.4.39, kernel 3.6.0. The system was 32-bit(!), although actually ran on 64-bit hardware. Very similar installation using this newest driver, ran on much older hardware with K7 processor (early Sempron 1.8 GHz) - and with old Radeon 9600 - works with no problems whatsoever (tested with both mentioned games, CG Madness reached 36 FPS).

What's your mesa version. Could you attach the output from glxinfo? You need at least mesa 9.0 . 2D tiling has been activated by default in xf86-video-ati 7.0 which only affects r6xx+ asics. If you don't want to upgrade mesa you can disable that feature with setting Option "ColorTiling2D" "False" in your Xorg.conf
Yes, you're quite right: 1. I was using Mesa 8.0.4 - not being aware, that there's a need for more recent version. 2. After adding "ColorTiling2D" "False" everything works fine, "CG Madness" reached 62 fps. 3. After replacing Mesa 8.0.4 with Mesa 9.0 + GLU (it's excluded by now, had to be added separately) - everything works fine with or without "ColorTiling2D" "False". BTW: although on www.x.org radeon pages found an information: "2D tiled mode can provide significant performance benefits over 1D tiling with 3D applications.", actually in CG Madness I didn't notice any difference in performance (no further "boost"), my guess is, that maybe it turns up in some specific conditions, or with special kind of games/applications (or maybe this game is just set to keep not more than around 60 fps, which perfectly makes sense, since more FPS than 50-60 won't offer "more fluent" motion graphics). Therefore it's not a bug, but my mistake rather. Sorry for bothering, and thanks for your assistance.
