Whenever X starts up after switching to ati's drivers (for my radeon 9000). I get massive display corruption, overlayed bleck boxes all over the screen - this usually goes away if i ctrl-alt-backspace to restart the X server. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge X, gentoo-dev-sources, ati-drivers 2. run fglrx-config 3. opengl-update ati Actual Results: I get black boxes all over the screen the first time i start X (via init script) Portage 2.0.50-r8 (default-x86-2004.0, gcc-3.3.3, glibc-2.3.3.20040420-r0, 2.6.7-gentoo-r5) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.7-gentoo-r5 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2000+ Gentoo Base System version 1.4.16 distcc 2.13 i686-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [disabled] ccache version 2.3 [enabled] Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.59-r4 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.8.5 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O3 -march=athlon-xp -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="gcc3" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /etc/tomcat /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O3 -march=athlon-xp -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs ccache prelink sandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://194.83.57.7/sites/www.ibiblio.org/gentoo/ http://212.219.56.152/sites/www.ibiblio.org/gentoo/ http://194.83.57.3/sites/www.ibiblio.org/gentoo/ http://194.83.57.15/sites/www.ibiblio.org/gentoo/ http://194.83.57.2/sites/www.ibiblio.org/gentoo/" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="3dnow X aalib aim alsa apm arts avi berkdb cdr crypt cups directfb doc dvd encode esd fbcon foomaticdb gdbm gif gpm gtk gtk+ gtk2 imlib jabber java javascript jpeg kde ldap libg++ libwww linguas_en_GB mad mikmod mmx motif mpeg msn mysql ncurses nls oggvorbis opengl oss pam pdflib perl png postgres ppds python qt quicktime readline scanner sdl slang spell sse ssl svga tcltk tcpd tiff truetype usb video_cards_radeon x86 xml xml2 xmms xv yahoo zlib"

Created attachment 34170 [details] My fglrx-config generated XFree86Config I tried adding the Option "KernelModuleParm" "agplock=0" as suggested in the hint when emerging (is it in the correct place if indeed it has anything to do with this). Also changed Option "OpenGLOverlay" to "on" otherwise opengl would be completely corrupt (just garbage on the screen)

Is this still a problem with 3.14.6?
The bug seems to be dead. If not please check it with ati-drivers-8.14.13
Tried it. The new driers just give me a blank screen full stop (monitor powers down :( ). I've tried fglrxconfig and taking a fully working xorg.conf and substituting "fglrx" for "radeon".
Please verify with 8.16.
I get similar results with a Radeon 9500, tested with driver versions 8.18.6 and 8.14.13-r2. Changing (console-)framebuffer from radeon to vesafb-tng and to none (i.e. standard text console) didn't help, aswell as using internal / external agpgart drivers. Display corruption takes place when moving windows and switching focus. (Using KDE 3.4.1 and X.org 6.8.2).
I don't see this going anywhere. If you still have issues, report them upstream, we can't fix binary stuff.
