So. Newer ati packages did not improve. I then decided to start from a clean base, no debug Xorg, no debug radeon driver etc. I cleaned, deinstalled and reinstalled first the xorg-server then the dri and afterwards the same for the xf86-video-ati. The order of dri and ati does not matter I think. Having done this, I was able to run the 3D-demos.... yeah! The kernel has WITTNES and friends commented, also DRM_DEBUG is off. Here the excerpts from the Xorg.log: X.Org X Server 1.7.7 Module radeon: compiled for 1.7.7, module version = 6.14.3 Andreas
