This is with the standard (open source) radeon driver. It is also a kde3 problem. xfce and other desktops are fine. Anybody else see this after updates in the last day or two? Any ideas what to look for? Thanks
CORRECTION - The problem effects all WMs. Xfce ran fine until a dialog popped up and then the display scrambled into 1000s of little squares. I can't get a screenshot because I can't see the 'filename input' field much less the 'save' button. So it looks like X. My guess is it is one of the following:
1297305248 (Wed 09 Feb 2011 08:34:08 PM CST) xorg-x11-server-sdk 1297305257 (Wed 09 Feb 2011 08:34:17 PM CST) xorg-x11-server-extra 1297305267 (Wed 09 Feb 2011 08:34:27 PM CST) xorg-x11-driver-video 1297305271 (Wed 09 Feb 2011 08:34:31 PM CST) xorg-x11-driver-input
No 'EE' in either Xorg.0.log or Xorg.0.log.old. Anybody else see anything strange out of the new xorg driver or server?
Solved = downgraded to working state Guys, The dialog that caused the screen to scramble was the darn 'kupdater' dialog at the top of the screen that tells you there are updates (even though there aren't any). I solved the display corruption problem by downgrading to: xorg-x11-driver-input-7.6-98.1.i586.rpm xorg-x11-driver-video-7.6-162.1.i586.rpm xorg-x11-server-7.6_1.9.3-111.6.i586.rpm xorg-x11-server-extra-7.6_1.9.3-111.6.i586.rpm xorg-x11-server-sdk-7.6_1.9.3-111.6.i586.rpm So it looks like the problem was in either: xorg-x11-server-7.6_1.9.3-115.1.i586.rpm xorg-x11-driver-video-7.6-170.1.i586.rpm from the xorg repo. Strange, I haven't seen this type of behavior with display corruption since the kde2 days... or with radeonhd drivers I build myself :) -- David C.
