[Bug 77142] Garbled text in Gtk2 applications

--- Comment #2 from eric <e.durmin at gmx.net> ---
The problem I've described in the top comment, is when using agpmode=4. 

I somehow can not use agpmode=8.
When agpmode is set to 8, the X server will not start. Loading the radeon
module with modprobe is no problem, but starting the X server, for example with
startx, will hang the computer. Xstart should open 3 xterm windows, but during
the opening of the first xterm window the computer hanged.

When setting agpmode to 1 or 2, I get this message:
[drm:radeon_agp_init] *ERROR* Illegal AGP Mode: 1 (valid 4, 8), leaving at 8

So I can only set agpmode to -1.

With agpmode=-1 the garbled text has disappeared.
But certain movements on the screen can not keep up with the mouse movement.
For example when moving around a window with the mouse (I use KDE's wobbling
window) and scrolling a long webpage by dragging the vertical slider up and
down with the mouse in Konqueror/Rekonq (Firefox doesn't have this problem).

The movement on the screen is smooth, but it is more behind the mouse than when
agpmode is set to 4.

Setting agpmode to -1 is a better solution than disabeling EXAPixmaps or
RenderAccel.
