Hi all, Ever since I updated to the latext X.org 7.3 ports, my DRI support for my ATI Radeon rv350 card no longer works well. Previously, I used compiz as my window manager (with patch available here to drm kmod: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11870). Under X.org 7.2, this had been working fine ever since I got around the FreeBSD kernel module issue above. Now, I can run it, but I get a large amount of on-screen artifacts and visual glitches. From what I can tell, if I have multiple windows open (and the "desktop" window from nautilus does count) the non-foreground windows seem to get their visuals destroyed and replaced with scaled and faded versions of whatever the current foreground window is. I *am* using the fade effect in compiz, which makes the non-focus windows appear slightly translucent. In addition, I reverted back to metacity (no composting) and I have tried to run glxgears. I get a serious amount of visual glitches all over my screen. Last time I tried this, my xserver crashed out (signal 11). I'm running gdm, so it is revived after a crash. I am curious if others are experiencing similar woes with the new updates, or if anyone has a solution. -- Coleman Kane
