Matthias, all, I've been busy lately and haven't had time to focus on the radeonhd driver issues on my Toshiba 205d laptop with RS690M (x1200). Until now, I have been running opensuse 11.0 and still using the fglrx driver. (the other box you were working with me on was an Arch Linux install). Now, looks like I have to make time to get the radeonhd issues worked because I just installed 11.2 which defaults to radeonhd on my laptop and the display is horrible (screen shakes, many artifacts left all over the screen) In opensuse 11.2, the screen shakes and stumbles bad enough to give you sea sickness. It looks like what is occurring is the driver incorrectly draws or corrupts a few horizontal lines (at radom vertical heights in the screen) and then the remaining part of the display gets adjusted up/down to fill the void for the remainder of that refresh (or the next 3-4 refreshes). Typing (like this email) makes this happen more frequently. (this happens too fast to catch with a screenshot) I don't know if this is a technical term, but the screen with 'flash in those corrupted lines' and then the rest of the screen 'jiggles'?? Another big problem is screen artifacts. When you move a window you will have horizontal lines left in the display where the top/bottom of adjacent windows are.

Xorg.0.log at: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/openSUSE_bugs/112/radeonhd/Xorg.0.log Another problem with the radeonhd driver on openSuSE 11.2 is the performance is so poor it shuts down compositing when you rotate the cube. This happens about 1/2 the time. Sometimes I can rotate the cube, other times compositing just shuts down. You can also see from the following screenshot that when compositing shuts down it destroys transparence for the plasma widgets line the plasma panel show next to the error message about compositing being shut down. See: (21k) http://www.3111skyline.com/download/openSUSE_bugs/112/ss/compositing- shutdown.jpg When we left off, the radeonhd from git was blackscreening my box. Looking at the radeonhd version install (1.3) at least it is running now. (that's a plus). I am going to pull the latest git version and build it and see how it goes. However, I need to know how I tell 11.2 to load the new driver now -- since there is no xorg.conf. Do I have to rebuild the kernel initramfs or something like that? If you can give me the steps or point me to a link where managing which driver gets loaded now, I'll follow up and give you the results. Let me know what I need to do. Thanks. P.S. Downloading updates for 11.2 right now, so the screenshots may be a little slow :p -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
