Description Sergey Isachenko 2013-10-10 13:57:01 UTC
In 'left of' mode ati drivers (or kwin?) start screen flickering.
How to call it properly? Tearing? See video [1].

Has this worked in the past? Do you know which upgrade caused this? Can you try to play around with downgrading the packages you mention to see if one caused it?
Comment 2 Chí-Thanh Christopher Nguyễn gentoo-dev 2013-10-10 17:50:01 UTC
Or try upgrading to 13.11_beta

I do not know how it was before, I have only recently started to use the fglrx
>> Do you know which upgrade caused this? 
No

Ok. I tried to lower versions of packages up to = x11-drivers/ati-drivers-13.6_beta
Sorry, no results to no avail.
>>Or try upgrading to 13.11_beta

Now I have just installed = x11-drivers/ati-drivers-13.11_beta6. The result is the same. Bands appear as before.


p.s. How still the name of this effect? Tearing?
p.p.s. sorry for my bad english.

ati-drivers is dead, and will not be supported for X.
