Running Debian's xserver-xorg-video-ati version 1:6.8.0-1 on AMD64 on
a radeon 9600, I'm occasionally seeing random bits of pixmaps in
Firefox windows. This is fixed by setting
Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"
in my config file. (Thanks to Julien for suggesting that.)
I understand that nobody is much interested in fixing XAA, which is
why I'm not providing any further details.
I'm wondering if the time hasn't come to make EXA the default...
