[SOLVED] X.Org Graphic Issue

Cagnulein · 2010-11-22 20:55:02

I can't understand what's going on..sometimes (every 10 minutes or so), glitches appear into my display.
I've tried disabling compiz and composite into metacity.
dmesg doesn't say nothing particular.
I'm using xf86-video-ati-6.13.2-1 and extra/xorg-server 1.9.2-1
This is my xorg.conf:

Try

xset s off

to disable X starting the screensaver / blanking the screen after 10 minutes of inactivity

It's not releated to the screensaver, i've just restarted X and after 2 mins the glitches show...
I'm reading about a google chrome issue...i've just switched to Opera, let's see...

The glitch is the little square in the upper left corner, right?

I don't know what the problem is. I had graphical glitches with my Radeon card using the open source driver. They went away when I enabled KMS.

Yes it is, there is another one in upper right corner.
KMS is enabled here and it works flawless.

OK, i can firmly say it's Google Chrome 7!
I'll try compile 9.0 from aur
Thanks for your help.
