Major Graphical Corruption Occurring in Windows that are not Maximised

I am participating in the Steam Linux Beta and am experiencing graphical corruption as captured in the screenshots attached to this ticket.

By starting Steam from the command-line I was able to observe logging messages and noticed that every time a graphical corruption artifact occurs the application outputs the message:

"radeon: The kernel rejected CS, see dmesg for more information."

An examination of dmesg reveals messages as follows:

"
[ 2491.179581] radeon 0000:02:00.0: r600_cs_track_validate_cb invalid tiling 6 for 0 (0x08110668)

[ 2491.179592] [drm:radeon_cs_ib_chunk] *ERROR* Invalid command stream !

Less corruption when Steam Windows are maximised

When a window is maximised the corruption is a lot less (Since the latest version of the Steam Linux client is gone, except for drop-down menus and pop-out windows (Like the Friend List) which are ALWAYS corrupt)

The Big Screen mode seems to work fine, possibly because it functions as a pure OpenGL application?

The Main Steam Window is now displayed perfectly, but drop-down menus and pop-out windows are ALWAYS corrupt, even when maximised.

Please attach your xorg log and the outputs from dmesg and glxinfo.
Comment 5 Alex Deucher 2013-01-04 13:55:26 UTC 
I'm assuming you are using mesa 9.x or newer based on the version info in the bug header.  Can you confirm?  xf86-video-ati 7.0.0 requires mesa 9.x.  Also, if the steam client is a 32-bit application and you are running a 64-bit distro, you will need to make sure your 32-bit 3D driver is up to date.  I suspect you have an out of date 32-bit 3D driver.

I can confirm that I am using Mesa 9.0.1 in conjunction with xf86-video-ati 7.0.0.

I *thought* I was running Steam as a 64-bit application but based on the lack of an "ubuntu12_64" directory in my  ~/.local/share/Steam directory it seems likely that my Steam installation is actually a 32-bit one.

I am using the latest emul-x86 libs (I'm running Sabayon Linux) but I also have a separate 32-bit chroot for work purposes. I will try updating the chroot environment (Since it's set up with the same distro) and installing Steam their and testing it in that environment...
Comment 10 Adam Jorgensen 2013-01-05 05:35:03 UTC 
Okay, so I updated the 32-bit sabayon I use for performing chroot work stuff, installed Steam and then ran the application via the 32-bit chroot and the application works perfectly.

I guess it is thus likely that the sabayon multilibs are currently running a bit behind.

INVALID then?
