Hello,
after adding Option "AccelMethod" "EXA" in to the xorg.conf I see some graphical glitches in KDE application menus. Icon in menus are litle broken. Turn off kwin effects does not solve this problem. I can remove this option, but KDE is slower (typically krunner).
Any ideas/hints ? Upgrade to x-server 1.6 ?
CPU: Genuine Intel(R) CPU T2500 @ 2.00GHz
GPU: ATI x1400
RAM: 1GB
X Server 1.5.3
Thanks,

Perhaps you have changed some other setting that u've lost track of?
Try temporarily renaming you .kde4 folder and restarting.

Hello,
thanks for tip, but creating new KDE profile (rename .kde4) don't help me. Maybe is bug in radeon driver or, kde4/qt 4.5 or ...

This sounds very likely as a driver bug. Did you try the new xorg-server yet. I am not familar with ATI chips, but maybe you could try radeonhd instead.

I must agree, it's driver bug. With radeonhd glithches are gone. But radeonhd seems to be slover than radeon and GPU temperature is higher. I will try create some bugreport.

Any updates on this topic? I'm suffering from the same kind of glitches! radeon driver, xserver 1.6.1 , kde4.2.2 system completely up to date... I can pinpoint the problem further. It's got to be the EXA acceleration because with XAA acceleration works witout those glitches. Unfortunately considerably slower too! Tried disabling and enabling all kinds of tweaks I found in my xorg.conf, like the following:
From config file RADEON(0): Option "EnablePageFlip" "true"
From config file RADEON(0): Option "FBTexPercent" "0"
From config file RADEON(0): Option "AccelDFS" "true"
From config file RADEON(0): Option "ColorTiling" "true"
From config file RADEON(0): Option "RenderAccel" "true"
From config file RADEON(0): Option "DynamicClocks" "true"
From config file RADEON(0): Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"
From config file RADEON(0): Option "DRI" "true"
From config file RADEON(0): Option "IgnoreLidStatus" "false"
From config file RADEON(0): Option "EXAVSync" "true"
Other than that no xorg.conf errors, merely some warnings... System is running perfectly fine as such, and I can confirm that the radeonhd driver solves this issue. But from the performance point of view I'm with flateric, it's way slower than radeon...

Hello,
here is bugreport:
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18397
We must hope, that this bug will be solved in next release of radeon driver.

...thanks FlatEric, kinda missed that bug report! Thought i was too damn dumb to configure my xorg.conf properly. ;-) Well in this case we'll have to sit and wait.

Have you tried the xf86-video-ati-git ?

Yes - now, without success, still same graphical glitches.

...I didn't but since flateric did I think I'll wait for the next revision of the driver! Doesn't bother me that much, it's more out of sence of perfectionism. What bothers me more is that I can't get my Thinkpad keys working using hal and these fdi files... But I guess "Desktop Enviroments" isn't the right place for this. Besides, I posted a thread a few days ago. Nobody answered since... C'mon people!!
