I have black stripes in my desktop applications and in lightdm using Ubuntu Precise 12.04 and updated graphic drivers (xf86-video-ati). Graphic card: Radeon HD 4890 - r770. Before this didn't happen, it's a new bug. Thank you.
Please attach your xorg log and dmesg output. What package(s) did you update that caused the problem?
I had to format the system because I didn't know how to go back to an older version. I'm using this ppa https://launchpad.net/~oibaf/+archive/graphics-drivers/. Maybe here you can see the problem, I think the package is xserver-xorg-video-ati. I'm sorry I'm a bit unexperienced in Linux. Just trying to learn.

If you update xserver-xorg-video-ati to version 7.0.0 or newer, you either have to also have to update your mesa package 9.0 or newer, or add: Option "ColorTiling2D" "False" to the device section of your xorg.conf
Yes, with that ppa mesa is updated too :/
As Alex mentioned, could you disable ColorTiling2D and please attach your xorg log and dmesg output
The PPA provide git version of -ati/libdrm/mesa. Ruben, the Xorg log to attach is at /var/log/Xorg.0.log .
Thank you for your help. OpenGL vendor string: X.Org OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on AMD RV770 OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 9.1-devel (git-35840ab precise-oibaf-ppa) I've attached the log.

You are running Ubuntu 12.04, rigth?
Yes I am. (Elementary OS built in Ubuntu 12.04.1) It uses Pantheon shell based on mutter like gnome-shell 3.
Created attachment 71185 [details] Screenshot that shows the problem.
(In reply to comment #13) > Before this didn't happen, it's a new bug. It didn't happen before what? It would be great if you could isolate which component (kernel, xf86-video-ati, mesa) introduced the problem.
I was using an older version of the driver, this problem appeared when I installed version 1:7.0.0+git1212071424.793e1b (xserver-xorg-video-ati). I was working with mesa 9.1 without problems but I had installed an older version of xserver-xorg-video-ati

The older version was the version that comes installed with Ubuntu 12.04 by default (don't know how to see it). I can't disable ColorTiling2D because I don't have xorg.conf file in my folder and ColorTiling2D is important to improve performance as I have seen, driver should work with that enabled.

We need to narrow down where the problem is so you need to try some things so we can figure out what's going on. You can create a xorg.conf to test with easily. Just create /etc/X11/xorg.conf with the following content: Section "Device" Identifier "radeon" Driver "radeon" Option "ColorTiling2D" "false" EndSection
Thank you very much, I'll create that xorg.conf and I'll tell you if that works. I'm outside home now but in two days I'll do it.
(In reply to comment #16) > The older version was the version that comes installed with Ubuntu 12.04 by > default (don't know how to see it). You should be able to look it up with 'apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-video-radeon' or in /var/log/dpkg.log*.
Sorry for the delay. I've desactivated colortiling2d and the problem persists and apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-video-ati gives me this: xserver-xorg-video-ati: Installed: 1:7.0.0+git1212071424.793e1b~gd~p Candidate: 1:7.0.0+git1212121401.3c7d02~gd~p Version table: 1:7.0.0+git1212121401.3c7d02~gd~p 0 500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/oibaf/graphics-drivers/ubuntu/ precise/main amd64 Packages *** 1:7.0.0+git1212071424.793e1b~gd~p 0 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1:6.14.99~git20111219.aacbd629-0ubuntu2 0 500 http://es.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/main amd64 Packages
I have reverted to a previous version of xserver-xorg-video-radeon and xserver-xorg-video-ati and the bug has gone. So, the problem is in those packages. apt-cache policy: xserver-xorg-video-radeon: Installed: 1:6.14.99~git20111219.aacbd629-0ubuntu2 Candidate: 1:6.14.99~git20111219.aacbd629-0ubuntu2 Version table: *** 1:6.14.99~git20111219.aacbd629-0ubuntu2 0 500 http://es.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status xserver-xorg-video-ati: Installed: 1:6.14.99~git20111219.aacbd629-0ubuntu2 Candidate: 1:6.14.99~git20111219.aacbd629-0ubuntu2 Version table: *** 1:6.14.99~git20111219.aacbd629-0ubuntu2 0 500 http://es.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
Found the package that has the bug in!! Definitely the problem was not in xserver-xorg-video-radeon. libgl1-mesa-dri: Installed: 9.1~git1212131047.200bb3~gd~p Candidate: 9.1~git1212131047.200bb3~gd~p Version table: *** 9.1~git1212131047.200bb3~gd~p 0 500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/oibaf/graphics-drivers/ubuntu/ precise/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 8.0.4-0ubuntu0.2 0 500 http://es.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-updates/main amd64 Packages 500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-security/main amd64 Packages 8.0.2-0ubuntu3 0 500 http://es.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/main amd64 Packages This versión of libgl1-mesa-dri is which is bugged.
Mesa 9.1 is really outdated, could you please retest if the problem still persists on a more recent version?
