Hi,
I have an ugly problem with X hangs.
Just a while ago, before xorg-server 1.5.2, xf86-video-ati used to work perfect, even with hibernation.
Now xf86-video-ati from git hangs by blanking 2 thirds of the screen, when switching CTRL+ALT+Fx or resuming from hibernation.
DRI option enabled or not, it makes no difference; or with or without drm and radeon modules builtin. (those from git "x11-drm" do not work with 2.6.26 kernel.)
Finding similar posts, I tried using "NoAccel" "on": seems to work, yes, but too slow.
Option "AccelMethod" set to "EXA" has a similar behaviour.
These group of options together seem to mask the bug, especially "XAANoPixmapCache", just that alone takes longer to freeze again.
Option "XAANoImageWriteRect" #
Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" #
Option "XAANoPixmapCache" #
Option "XAANoScreenToScreenCopy" #
Option "XAANoSolidFillRect" #
Option "XAANoSolidFillTrap" #
The device section is:

Is this a server or a driver or a conf. bug?
Thanks -- S.
