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. See:
Looks like acceleration issues. Does this happen with a minimal xorg.conf like the following?
Section "Device" Identifier "Device[0]" Driver "radeonhd" Option "AccelMethod" "shadowfb" EndSection
Dunno, I'll try it real quick and report back :-)
Matthias, Big improvements. Using the snippet above as my xorg.conf eliminated all of the window shaking and miss-drawn horizontal lines. However, since compositing is disabled as a result, when you move windows, multiple copies of the windows get left behind for a second or two. See: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/openSUSE_bugs/112/ss/radeonArtifacts4.jp... In the example above, I was moving the kwrite windows around on the desktop (not that fast either). The screen does repaint itself and remove the extra copies, but it is visible enough for me to get a screenshot of. Since you did so well with your last suggestion, Got any more that will get compositing back? I can't believe that little xorg entry cleaned up the shaking and artifacts... -- David C.
