That worked.
Among the 100s of cruft dot files in my $HOME there's a little xml file called
".drirc", which I don't remember ever touching. It may have been there since
before I even got this card (previous was an ancient nvidia). I remember trying
PlayOnLinux years ago, maybe it put it there.
I finally narrowed the trouble down to the following two entries:
<driconf>
<device screen="0" driver="radeonsi">
<application name="Default">
<option name="pp_jimenezmlaa" value="7" />
<option name="pp_jimenezmlaa_color" value="8" />
</application>
</device>
</driconf>
"pp_jimenezmlaa" causes block-corrupted garbage, and "pp_jimenezmlaa_color"
screws up the fonts with blurring. I've spent 18 months thinking the OSS driver
was broken because of this. Is this a bug?
Now the hardware/driver does work, FOSS wins again and I'm \o/ about it.
Thanks again for your help.</pre>
