           Summary: Radeon driver gives garbled display.
           Product: xorg
           Version: CVS_head
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: Driver/Radeon
        AssignedTo: xorg-bugzilla-noise at freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: jinx at coldiso.org


I just built the x.org CVS and attempted to use the "radeon" driver on my Radeon
9000 and experienced a very garbled display.
It seems like it is similar to bug 205 in description but much worse.

I can't make out anything at all, the cursor is garbled as is the entire screen.
Here is a link to a screenshot. When on the machine it is constantly moving so
it seems clearer from the screenshot than it really is onscreen.
This happens with, or without the composite extension, when composite is enabled
and I run xcompmgr the display cleans up quite a bit but still is garbled,
especially the mouse and text fields.

Having no luck with the radeon driver I installed the fglrx binary drivers and
the display is perfectly clean, althought I do experience bug 1011 (again, with
or without composite enabled) and xcompmgr is quite slow.

I am running Debian Sid, recently upgraded.
