           Summary: Distortion or console image displayed when starting
                    Widelands
           Product: Drivers
           Version: 2.5
    Kernel Version: 3.0-rc4
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: Video(DRI - non Intel)
        AssignedTo: drivers_video-dri at kernel-bugs.osdl.org
        ReportedBy: jlp.bugs at gmail.com
        Regression: No


I just installed Widelands game (build15) on the new computer with following
hardware:
 * ASUS P8H67 revision 3.0 motherboard - BIOS 1003
 * Intel Core i5 2500K CPU
 * Gigavyte GV-R575SL-1GI GPU (AMD Radeon HD 5750)
 * 8 GiB DDR3 memory

I get this bug when I start the game. When the game comes up for the first time
the image is distorted. To get image back to normal I have to switch to some
other console, with Ctrl+Alt+F1 for example, and than back to the console with
X11. Then the image is OK and I can play the game. When I start the game for
the second time the image of the last visited non-x console is displayed. But
this is juts image, it appears it doesn't actually switch to that console, just
displays image of it and I still have to use keyboard to switch to non-X
console and back to console with X to fix the image.

I've also discovered a workaround for this behaviour. If I start the game from
terminal emulator (KDE Konzole) with "SDL_VIDEODRIVER=x11 widelands" there is
no problem. In this case the game first tries to use X11 and without the option
it tries to autodetect what to use so it looks like the bug happens when
probing other modes.

The software used is:
 * Linux kernel 3.0-rc4
 * Widelands build15
 * mesa git-42e7a13
 * libdrm from git
 * xf86-video-ati from git
 * xorg-server 1.10.99.901
 * libsdl 1.2.14
 * sdl-gfx 2.0.22
