Hi everybody, I'm following xf86-video-radeonhd-devel port on FreeBSD since I'm too lazy to check out and compile manually. After recent upgrade to xf86-video-radeonhd-1.2.5.20090605 the driver seems to be broken. I first thought the hardware has a problem, because I've seen strange lines moving all over the desktop following the mouse when especially when highlighting stuff with cursor in Gnome2. Symptoms are: 1) FIRST START, W/O VT-SWITCH: everything works, no problems. 2) FIRST VT-SWITCH: horizontal lines begin to appear, desktop getting messy. 3) SECOND VT-SWITCH: freeze, text-terminal filled with characters. Cannot shutdown. Seems to have paniced or totally frozen. I tried without DRI enabled, same effect. I installed "the other driver" ;) ... it works, without problems. Now I've changed the driver, but as soon as the fix is in ports, I'm willing to change back. My chipset is RV630. System is: 8.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT #0: Sun May 24 21:57:22 CEST 2009 amd64 Last working driver (I'm not very sure here): 1.2.5.20090509 Furthermore, I can confirm the behavior on: 8.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT #0: Sun Jun 7 15:14:38 CEST 2009 amd64 And with radeonhd updates of today: 1.2.5.20090607 Second thing is, I want to confirm (partially) the problem described here (different machine!): http://lists.opensuse.org/radeonhd/2009-06/msg00102.html (I am not on the mailing list, so I don't know the email address of the user.) I said "partially" because it is similar. I have the strange effect that sometimes (this is very rare), when I close a window or e.g. a tab in firefox, the screen turns black for a second and then everything is ok again (it does not keep flickering, it just does this one time). The effect may be correlated with redrawing a huge portion of screen (a rectangle). But this is of course, only a guess. It does no harm to the stability, by the way. This happens only on one VGA card (I have) attached to a flat panel display. Chipset is RV635.
