           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.
