Xgl with radeon 9200

[Hanno Böck]

Hi,

Although I really played around a lot with xgl recently, I never got it 
working on my own laptop.

I'd like to get this resolved, so I hope someone helps me to find the issue.
My card is a
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M9+ 5C63 [Radeon 
Mobility 9200 (AGP)] (rev 01)


- If I use the os-radeon-driver (latest one from cvs with drm cvs, so all 
recent fixes from benh are in) and start
Xgl :1 -ac
(afaik, no accel with that, because radeon doesn't support pbuffer, right??)
Xgl starts, but only half the screen. The left half seems fine, the right one 
not. When starting compiz and apps in it, the behaviour is mixed, not really 
reproducible. But sometimes I could move a wobbling xterm around in the left 
half, it also seemed to be fine from the performance.
Sometimes Xgl segfaults after a while.
This "half"-issue is also if I start in fullscreen or with smaller size.

When using the proprietary driver, I just get something like that:

But I'd anyway prefer to use it with the free driver.


Beside that, there are some more unresolved problems with the radeon-os-driver 
and my card, but I don't know if they have anything to do with it. I'd anyway 
like to get them resolved:
- seems to report wrong xv-size or has other issues with xv, see bug 
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1462
- I never got exa really running, it makes things damn slow.

Others that also have a Radeon 9200 reported working exa and also don't have 
the xgl-problems I reported above.
