After switching windows or usually desktop windows it fails to redraw all or parts of the screen. Clickable URLs will always redraw (as can be seen in #6). Some tearing will also occur when the window under a popup gets scrolled. Basically LOTS of regressions and issues exist with xorg-server-1.1 & ati driver 6.6.0 that wasn't there in the last versions. http://dev.gentoo.org/~cardoe/files/Screenshot-4.png http://dev.gentoo.org/~cardoe/files/Screenshot-5.png http://dev.gentoo.org/~cardoe/files/Screenshot-6.png http://dev.gentoo.org/~cardoe/files/Screenshot-7.png http://dev.gentoo.org/~cardoe/files/Screenshot-8.png Issue exists with EXA or XAA (except where noted in Screenshot #7). And with or without Composite enabled.
Forgot to mention this is reproducable about 1/3rd of the time. But 100% reproducable everytime I have Azureus running on another desktop. Currently I'm being bit by the Azureus & GTK+ 2.8.17 bug so I can't click off the error msg in all those screenshots.
Please attach (as opposed to paste or link to) full config and log files.

Try not enabling backing store.
disabling backing store fixed the issue. It also fixed firefox scrolling at terribly slow speeds when setup with EXA disabled.
The current backing store implementation has been known to perform rather bad for a long time, apparently it's even broken now. Do you need it for anything?

Sorry about the phenomenal bug spam, guys. Adding xorg-team@ to the QA contact so bugs don't get lost in future.
Doug Goldstein Do you still experience this issue with newer soft ? Please check the status of your issue.
The backing store implementation now is entirely unlike what it was in 2006.
