Subject: [Bug 26331] New: X corruption if KMS not enabled when X is started see rainbow stripes box cursor
Date: Fri, 29 Jan 2010 21:57:20 -0800 (PST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <bug-26331-502@http.bugs.freedesktop.org/> (raw)
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26331
Summary: X corruption if KMS not enabled when X is started see
rainbow stripes box cursor
Product: DRI
Version: XOrg CVS
Platform: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS/Version: Linux (All)
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: low
Component: DRM/Radeon
AssignedTo: dri-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
ReportedBy: shawn.starr@rogers.com
With an RV635 (HD 3650 FireGL mobile) I get corruption on start of X *if* I
start system with no radeon loaded and KMS not enabled.
If I let X load the DRM driver when X starts I will see a stripe rainbow
corruption ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| pattern such as mentioned here. The
mouse cursor is square.
I do not know when this started but this may have always been the case since
some distributions do not load radeon firmware on start (thus there's no KMS).
I can try to git bisect but with no beginning point or end it might take awhile
to find assuming it hasn't always done this.
WORKAROUND: Force load radeon with modeset=1 in initscript prior to X starting
fixes this.
