xf86-video-ati-6.14.4-1-x86_64 doesn't work (SOLVED in 6.14.4-2)

I just did the upgrade on my 64 bit machine using a Radeon HD 5750 (green series) vga card with 2560x1600 resolution.

X starts without any warnings or errors in the log but i see only some quirks on top of the screen and the mouse cursor is a huge square.

I downgraded to the previous version xf86-video-ati 6.14.3-2 and all works fine again.

Anybody else has this effect, especially with a 57xx graphics card?

Thanks in advance, LW.

Confirmed with HD3100, workaround is to downgrade xf86-video-ati.
Hopefully will get fixed soon.

The same problem with a ATI FireGL 5200 (32-bit)
Downgrade fixes the problem.

Re: xf86-video-ati-6.14.4-1-x86_64 doesn't work (SOLVED in 6.14.4-2)

Same problem on r300 i686.

Also, X screws up the console.  When I leave X I get a blank screen.  It's not xf86-video-ati that causes this, because after downgrading to 6.14.3 this problem persists...

I can't even get to X on my laptop with xf86-video-ati-6.14.4-1.

Same here. GUI (gnome-shell) not working with latest xf86-video-ati and Radeon HD 5450.

Solved by switching to xf86-video-ati-git from AUR.

Thank you for the link to the bug report. It was correct, simply using the ABS to build and install the xf86-video-ati package myself fixes the problem.

Unless someone files a big gentlemen this problem is unlikely to get fixed soon.

I understand what you mean, but... file a big... gentlemen? O_o
