Artifacts upon login

Hi,

I´m using gnome-shell with GDM. Everytime I login (before the actual desktop is loaded) I see some artifacts.
I already read this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ATI but didn´ t solved my problem. I` m using the open source driver.

Here is my 20-radeon.conf configuration:

Section "Device"
	Identifier  "Radeon"
	Driver "radeon"
        Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"
        Option "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy"
        Option "AccelDFS" "true"
        Option "EnablePageFlip" "true"
        Option "EnableDepthMoves" "true"
        Option "EXAPixmaps" "off"
EndSection

With this config the artifacts are gone but I experience very poor performance when playing youtube videos or scrolling on firefox pages:

Section "Device"
	Identifier  "Radeon"
	Driver "radeon"
        Option "DRI" "2"
        Option "ColorTiling" "on"
        Option "ColorTiling2D" "on"
        Option "AccelMethod" "glamor"
EndSection

I can´t figure out how to alter this options to get rid of this artifacts. Thank you

Oh and the conky widgets look very bad with the first config.

Re: Artifacts upon login

Ok  I think I have managed to solve the issue. Here is the working config:

Section "Device"
	Identifier  "Radeon"
	Driver "radeon"
        Option "DRI" "2"
        Option "ColorTiling" "on"
        Option "ColorTiling2D" "on"
        Option "AccelMethod" "glamor"
        Option "ShadowPrimary" "on"
        Option "TearFree" "on"
EndSection

Although some conky widgets look very weird.
