lags and freezes on ATI RS880 [Radeon HD 4290] with new xf86-video-ati 7.8.0


Hi,

Since the last Xorg update, I've been experiencing lags and fatal freezes in several apps (ie : MPV, Chromium).

After some troubleshooting, it happens that the problem comes from the move from xf86-video-ati 7.7.0 to xf86-video-ati 7.8.0 on cards like [AMD/ATI] RS880 [Radeon HD 4290].

If you encounter a similar issue, the following config may be needed to fix it :

Code:
Section "Device"
	Identifier  "Radeon"
	Driver "radeon"
	#Option "AccelMethod" "glamor"
	Option "AccelMethod" "exa"
	Option "DRI" "3"
	#Option "TearFree" "on"
	Option "ColorTiling" "on"
	Option "ColorTiling2D" "on"
EndSection
Hope it will be helpful to some

Cheers
JP
